| Structural Geology Research with Dr. Randy Merrett |
 |
Dr. Randy Merrett is an Associate Professor
in the Department of Geological Sciences at
the University of Texas.
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.

| Peter's U.P. Geology |

Peter Hayes explains his interpretation of a
100+ year old topographic map of the
Dickinson County Michigan iron and mineral
deposits and their formation billions of
years ago. Basicly three ancient comtinants
came together and metamorphosed an ancient
sea floor before life formed on the planet. I
plan to use these rocks in my glazes. Kinda
like reading a treasure map in the hold of a
ship ah?
