Geologic Mapping in Turkey with Mike Darin

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 […]

The Oldest Strand of the South Tibetan Detachment in Nepal with Renaud Soucy La Roche

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 […]

Swirling around Asturias with Daniel Pastor-Galán

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 […]

Walking and Laughing in the Himalaya with Kyle Larson

Kyle Larson is an Assistant Professor a the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan Campus. He has spent the past 12 years using a variety of techniques to understand the structural and tectonometamorphic evolution of the Himalaya and (more recently) other collisional zones. You can find more about his research on his website, ResearchGate, or Google […]
