Sedimentary basin development and mountain building processes. Current studies utilize sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochronology, structural geology, and geochemistry to understand modern and ancient sedimentation,…
Dr. Charles Jackson is a research scientist at the Institute for Geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin. Charles’ research program concerns the development of computational, statistical, and scientific…
Process geomorphology, feedbacks between channel morphology and hydrology and sediment transport, landscape sensitivity to climate and lithology, bedrock river erosion, flash floods, arroyo erosion, canyon formation…
Dr. Charlie Kerans' interest in carbonate geology covers aspects of carbonate sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy. Applied aspects of carbonate reservoir characterization, outcrop analog studies, and new…
One big part of Dr. Ketcham's research is studying geological specimens in 3D using high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT), which is similar to CAT-scanning for humans but is optimized for imaging…
Quantitative stratigraphy, Shoreline dynamics, Morphodynamcis, Sediment transport, Deltaic sedimentation, River delta restoration, Coupled mathematical modeling and experimental stratigraphy.
Igneous petrology; application of isotope and trace element geochemistry to fundamental problems of the Earth’s origin and evolution; structure and chemical evolution of the mantle and crust; origin of mantle plumes…
Dr. Lavier's research focuses on large scale, tectonic questions, specifically the dynamic structural and geodynamical evolution of continental and oceanic rifts as well as collisional environments. To address…
