Structural Geology

Monash University has the largest Structural geology group in Australia. The group focuses on a broad range of activities from applied structural controls of mineral systems; experimental structural geology; regional terrane architecture; orogenic processes, basin systems, microstructural analysis, crustal scale shear zones, and glaciology.

	Professor Sandy Cruden Pure and applied structural geology Analogue modelling Structural control of mineral systems Digital mapping using UAV's
	Emeritus Professor Chris Wilson Evolution of tectonic structures in rocks and ice Field based structural analysis and geophysical techniques Experiments and numerical models to study microstructures and textures related to deformation in crustal rocks.
	Professor Peter Betts Field based structural mapping Orogenic processes Proterozoic tectonics Neotectonics.
	Professor Roberto Weinberg Orogenic process Crustal scale shear zones Archaean tectonics. I run a website where I explore a wide range of geological features and regions, with a wide selection of photographs. It currently consists of over 130 pages that provide the geological context for more than 3000 high-quality photographs (see here)
	Associate Professor Steven Micklethwaite Brittle deformation processes Structural control of fluid flow Digital mapping using UAV's Microstructural deformation processes
	Dr Laurent Ailleres Field based structural mapping Orogenic processes Neotectonics
	Dr Robin Armit Field based structural mapping Orogenic processes Proterozoic tectonics
