LEE A. WOODWARD

Ph.D., University of Washington, 1962. (Professor Emeritus) (505) 277-5309

Research and Academic Interests:

Tectonics and mineral deposits. Current research concerns Laramide motion of the Colorado Plateau, Ancestral Rocky Mountains deformation, mechanics of emplacement of laccoliths, and genesis of mineral deposits hosted by the Middle Proterozoic Belt Supergroup in Montana and Idaho.
