I am a structural geologist, one who studies how and why the crust of Earth and other terrestrial planets deform in response to stresses arising from plate motions, loading and erosion. My research ...

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 ...
