Her findings were based on field mapping in the Adobe Hills, California-Nevada as part of her MS thesis research on "Pliocene sinistral slip across the Mina deflection, California-Nevada" under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Lee. For her thesis, Sarah mapped nearly an entire 7.5' quadrangle and has submitted her compiled geologic map and cross-section to the US Geological Survey for review.
