I teach several graduate courses on structural geology and tectonics. My research concentrates on tectonic deformation in the upper continental crust where folds, faults, and fractures are the most important result. Earle F. McBride, Professor and J. Nalle Gregory Chair in Sedimentary Geology. Ph.D., Johns Hopkins, 1960. I teach a second-year course on sedimentary rocks, the introductory field methods course, part of the senior summer field course, and a graduate course on sandstone petrology.
Data come from field work, microscopy, and various geochemical techniques.
Sampling trips have led me to 16 countries. Sharon Mosher, Professor and Wilton E. Scott Centennial Professor. Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana, 1978. I teach undergraduate structural geology, introductory geology for majors and non-majors, senior field camp, and graduate courses in structural geology, petrology, and tectonics. In my research I do both field and laboratory work to study how rocks deform by folding and faulting.
