About Structural Geology & Tectonics Research Group

The Structural Geology & Tectonics Research Group at William & Mary has generated new knowledge about the internal architecture, tectonic processes, and geological history of the Earth (and beyond) for more than two decades.

We aim to share these discoveries, made primarily by undergraduate researchers, with the world and convey the excitement, frustration, and joy of original research.
