Welcome
Welcome to the Structure and Tectonics group website. This site is all about the exciting community of graduate students, faculty, and academic staff working on structural geology and tectonics problems in the Structure and Tectonics group at UW—Madison. We routinely collaborate with other groups in the Geoscience department.
From differential stress in the lithospheric mantle to fault-controlled fluid flow in the upper crust, we work on a huge diversity of geologic problems. Our projects also span geologic time, from 6 Ma shallow pluton intrusion to 3.5 Ga tectonics.
