Structural geology is the study of the deformation of the surface and subsurface of the Earth and other planetary bodies. This deformation reflects past changes in local and regional stress and ...

The study of Structural Geology and Tectonics concerns the deformation of the Earth's crust and mantle. The scale of observation can be from the submicroscopic level to a mountain chain like the Rocky ...

My research lies at the intersection of structural geology, structural petrology, tectonic analysis, and metamorphic / igneous geology. As a quantitative, field-based geologist, I integrate a variety ...

An analysis of crustal deformation through detailed study of geologic structures with emphasis upon the response of geologic materials to stress and strain. Field techniques, tectonic principles, and ...

James Gilgannon, a structural geologist currently conducting ... The paper is published in the journal Geology. His team's ...

Studying the tectonic forces within the Earth give rise to continents, ocean basins, mountain ranges, earthquake belts, and most volcanoes, along with the resulting deformation of geological ...

Much of my research involves the integration of tools from structural geology, petrology of all rock types, and geochronology. My current and past research includes general contributions to 1) ...

The Geology of New Zealand: an Introduction to the Historical, Structural, and Economic Geology. By Prof. J. Park. Pp. xx + 488 + xvi plates, 140 figures, 6 maps. (London: Whitcombe and Tombs ...

Research in structural geology and tectonics seeks to define how and why deformation occurs within the earth at scales from mineral fabrics to lithospheric plates, and at time frames ranging from ...

Situated within the Rocky Mountains, our Department provides students with diverse opportunities for field studies. For example, the widespread Precambrian rocks and complexity of local structural ...
