Eric S. Cowgill

Professor
Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles (2001)
Structural Geology and Tectonics; Earth-Surface Processes

Structural geology and tectonics; primarily interested in understanding regional deformation within active continental collision zones. Emphasis on the evolution of orogen-scale fault systems and their interactions. Current projects include determining the regional kinematics of active deformation within the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and the tectonic evolution of the northern Tibetan Plateau.
