■ Geotectonics introduction Earth
tectonics research investigates the dynamic phenomena of the solid earth on
global spatial scales and geohistorical time scales. Our
group applies a wide variety of research methods to investigate these
phenomena. We
are developing research and education in geotectonics
by observation through field surveys, and analysis and experiments of
geological samples in the laboratory. |
