Professor
Randall Marrett
Associate Professor and Elf Aquitaine Petroleum
Faculty Fellow in Geological Sciences.
Ph.D., Cornell University,
1990
Field of Study:
Structural Geology
Short Biography:
Dr. Marrett's research concentrates on deformation
processes in the upper continental crust where folds, faults, and opening-mode
fractures are the most important products. This work is applicable to
a wide range of human concerns such as natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes,
volcanoes) and the flow of fluids through rock (e.g., hydrocarbons, water,
contaminants). Some common themes that relate his disparate interests
are quantitative field observations and analysis, especially using techniques
that address spatial and size scaling of structures. Dr. Marrett currently
has on-going projects that address active faulting and geyser eruption
patterns in the Central Andes of Argentina and Chile, detachment folding
and curved orogenic belt development in the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico,
and opening-mode fracturing in numerous areas.
