Solid
Earth Sciences: Tectonics, Geophysics, & Geodynamics
This is the site for MU's Solid Earth Science web server. The
solid earth is a dynamic system involving processes operating at
various temporal and spatial scales. Solid earth research at the
Universtiy of Missouri encompasses studies of crustal deformation to
lithospheric geodynamics and earth structure. Interdisciplinary
approaches include observational methods, quantitative data analysis,
and numerical modeling. Ongoing research areas include western
North
America, the Central U.S. (New Madrid Seismic Zone), the Middle East
(Syria,
Lebanon, Jordan, & Turkey), the Andes (South America), the
Himalayas
and Tibet Plateau (China), and the western Mediterranean (Morocco). New
initiatives are being developed in the north China (see the NSF PIRE
project web page for more information). For more information
on individual research projects, please visit the links to solid
earth faculty.
