Tectonophysics People
FACULTY
 REID COOPER, Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 031
401-863-2160 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Reid_Cooper@brown.edu
My research emphasizes solid-state mechanical and chemical kinetics in rocks, minerals and melts. (Also does interdisciplinary research with the GMP group).
|
 KAREN FISCHER, Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 163
401-863-1360 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Karen_Fischer@brown.edu
My research involves imaging the structure of the Earth's crust and mantle using seismic waves in order to better understand dynamic processes inside Earth.
|
 DONALD FORSYTH, Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 158
401-863-1699 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Donald_Forsyth@brown.edu
My research has four major lines: ocean-bottom seismometer and marine geophysical studies of oceanic crust and upper mantle, isostasy of continents and oceans, lateral heterogeneities and azimuthal variations in seismic velocity in the mantle related to convection, and the dynamics of mid-ocean-ridge tectonics.
|
 J. GREG HIRTH, Associate Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 035
401-863-7063 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Greg_Hirth@brown.edu
My interests are in experimental rock mechanics, deformation mechanisms in both crustal and mantle lithologies, structural geology, application of experimental flow laws to geophysical and geological observations. (Also does interdisciplinary research with the GMP group).
|
 E. MARC PARMENTIER, Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 162
401-863-1700 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
EM_Parmentier@brown.edu
My research centers on understanding the roles of melting, melt migration, and mantle dynamics on the long-term evolution of the interior of the Earth and other planetary bodies.
|
 JAN TULLIS, Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 033
401-863-1921 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Jan_Tullis@brown.edu
My research involves experimental investigations of the deformation mechanisms, microstructures, and rheology of crustal rocks. (Also does interdisciplinary research with the GMP group).
