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.
