Welcome to the Structure and Tectonics Research Group at Auburn University.
Our research focuses on the thermomechanical evolution of the continental crust in active or exhumed systems, especially the processes related to fluid-rock-deformation interactions. Our approach combines field work with detailed structural and microstructural analysis, stable isotope geochemistry, and geothermochronology to study the evolution of the different parameters (temperature, stress, strain rate, role of fluids) that control deformation and exhumation over different timescales.
We are always looking for enthusiastic, driven, and committed researchers at any level, from undergrad to postdoc
