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.Category: People

I can't imagine that from these hard solid rocks we can discover a lot of things about the planet earth. Very Interesting.

Are you alone doing ...
Are you alone doing does researches? I find it quite boring dealing with rocks! It seems lifeless!

definitely not ...
definitely not science and doesnt explain a lot of observations made on Earth. Neal is painfully ignorant

Also my major is Structural Geology too, but I do many applications of Geology by using the Remote Sensing technique and GIS.

Thanks for this ...
Thanks for this video. I am a mature undergraduate geology student. My interest as a future geologist are the Structural Geology and Tectonics. The reason of returning to university was to change my career for something I love: the rocks, exploring nature and to satisfy my curiosity (since I had lots of unanswered questions that bothered my curious nature).

THIS IS THE RECORD ...
THIS IS THE RECORD OF THE FIRST MAN-MADE EARTHQUAKE. I am not wrong. I challenge you all. With this so many lies fall. Man-Made earthquakes... The U.S. account of the damage caused by Nikola Tesla in the first major earthquake made by man is in this 1912 government paper, "The Earthquakes at Yakutat Bay, Alaska, in September, 1899."

Dr. Merreett, I ...
Dr. Merreett, I found a line on a rock which is very similar to the one shown in your video at 1:15. I have posted my video as a video response. Hopefully you will be able to tell what it is. Sorry, for poor video quality, but it should be good enough for you to identify.

Hey I found some geologists You should see the video by Neal Adams about the earth growing It might not be 'science' but I believe you will all,at the very least,find it interesting!! peace

just remember your SIGMA 1 SIGMA 2 SIGMA 3s ...geologists will know what im on about ; )

By understanding ...
By understanding the Earth, we can know where to extract the minerals. So they are both correct. Most people specialize in a field of geology eg sedimentology, geochemistry, environmental geology, geoarchaeology etc.
