OverviewAI-generated summary
Trevor A. Dumitru's research focuses on geological processes, particularly those related to subduction zones and the analysis of detrital zircon ages. His work investigates the long-term and episodic nature of subduction accretion, as evidenced by regional-scale correlations within geological formations like the Franciscan Complex in California.
Dumitru has explored the thermal annealing of fission and ion tracks in minerals such as epidote, a technique relevant for geochronology. His recent publications examine the provenance of detrital zircons in sedimentary sequences, comparing ages from forearc and subduction-zone strata with Cordilleran igneous basement ages. These comparisons provide insights into tectonic events, including Laramide tectonics in Southern California.
His research network includes collaborators such as Barry Shaulis and Glenn R. Sharman at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Dumitru has also been involved in securing federal funding, notably serving as a Co-PI on a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for the acquisition of a Multicollector ICP-MS, a significant instrument for research across geology, archeology, and paleobiology. With an h-index of 40 and over 5,000 citations across 87 publications, Dumitru is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
