Quentin Vandal (2001) is working on his M.S. degree in geology at Southern Illinois University Quentin's thesis project is in the Owens Valley, California. The main portion of his project is mapping the Plio-Pleistocene fanglomerates of the White/Inyo Mountains Range Front. The mapping will begin by testing the hypothesis that much or all of the present-day topographic and structural relief between the White/Inyo Mountains and the adjacent Owens Valley was created and is recorded by the piedmont deposits. The mapping and field measurements that Quentin will be doing should document tectonic and depositional history, including measures of uplift, tiling, and fault migration.
