Norway is well known for its fjords, narrow seaways that are bounded by steep cliffs dropping from sheer heights into even deeper waters. 80 kilometers north of Norway’s second largest city, Bergen, we find the most impressive fjords of them all – the Sognefjord being the longest and deepest. I am, however, not coming to […]
Mike Darin is a PhD student at Northern Arizona University. He uses a range of geologic techniques to investigate geologic problems involving upper crustal deformation, oblique strain, and plate boundary evolution. You can read more about his research here. His favorite rock is mylonite. My doctoral research at Northern Arizona University involves using both classical and cutting-edge […]
Sheree is a PhD candidate at The University of Adelaide researching the plate tectonics of supercontinent Gondwana in Madagascar and India. You can stay up to date with her research here and follow her on twitter @geoSheree. Understanding how the Earth’s plate tectonics have evolved and changed over time has always fascinated me. When I was […]
Renaud Soucy La Roche is a PhD candidate in the department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering at Queen’s University. His research focuses on the tectonometamorphic history of the Nepal Himalaya where he studies the forelandmost exposures of a major shear zone responsible for the exhumation of the Himalayan middle crust. Renaud and co. recently […]
Daniel Pastor-Galán is a geologist interested in plate tectonics in general. His research focuses in formation of mountain belts and global tectonic and geodynamic evolution of the Earth. He is especially interested in the formation of oroclines, which are map scale curvature in mountain belts and in the formation and evolution of supercontinents. He tries […]
