Tim Byrne

Professor

I am primarily interested in integrating structural geology and tectonics through field studies of modern and ancient orogenic belts. My students and postdocs have worked in Mesozoic and Cenozoic orogens in Alaska and Japan as well as Archean orogens in Canada and Australia. I’ve also participated and co-lead ocean-drilling expeditions to active subduction zone in the Nankai Trough, southwest Japan. Most recently our group, including Jean Crespi and Will Ouimet, have focused on active mountain building in Taiwan where there is unique a intersection of structural geology, tectonics and geomorphology.
