Structural and Petrological Geoscience
About the group
Research under the Structural and Petrological Geoscience theme covers many aspects of petrology, structural and tectonic geology in the field and in the laboratory. There is particular emphasis on experimental studies of phase equilibria at high pressures and temperatures (such as occur in subduction zones) and experimental studies of rock deformation and petrophysical properties over the entire range of crustal conditions.

New Research funding
New major research funding (January 2007) from NERC to study mechanisms of deformation in mica minerals under hydrothermal conditions. Betty Mariani (recent PhD graduate) awarded Ramsay Medal of Tectonic Studies Group for best paper arising from PhD studies.
