Advanced concepts in structural geology, including the influence of effective pressure, temperature, strain rate, climate and erosion on deformation mechanisms. Topics include: ductile deformation, microstructural fabrics, grain-scale to crustal-scale strain partitioning, models of exhumation, lithosphere rheology, and orogenic styles.
