  • Name: Dynamic and structural geology
  • Body:

    "Dynamic and structural geology" is the study of deformation structures (geometry), to characterize flow paths followed by particles during deformation (kinematics), and to infer the direction and magnitude of the forces involved in driving deformation (dynamics).

    Several topics in "Dynamic and structural geology" include tectonics, geodynamics, kinematics.

    Some reasons we look at "Dynamic and structural geology" include use measurements of present-day rock geometries to uncover information about the history of deformation (strain) in the rocks, and ultimately, to understand the stress field that resulted in the observed strain and geometries.

    A few notable experts of "Dynamic and structural geology" include Patrice F. Rey, J. L. Urai, Robert J. Twiss, Eldridge Moores.
