Tectonic Trends in Western North America as Reflected in the Geology

of Southeast Arizona

 

A speech by Robert Mortimer

Geologist, Astronomer, and Solar Power Designer.

 

 

With a BS and MS in Geology from the University of Arizona, Mr. Mortimer's first field work was in the Turkey Creek area.  He did petroleum geology work for Unocal for ten years and spent 6 years doing exploration geology in the south Atlantic.  He later studied tectonic styles in the western U.S. and consulted on slides and mud flows after the recent apocalyptic California fires.

 

Mr. Mortimer is in the process of moving from the San Andreas Fault area of California to the Sulphur Springs Valley.
