Dr. Tindall’s student researchers have traveled with her to southern Utah to study ancient earthquake-related features, map faults, and interpret Cretaceous Colorado Plateau tectonics. In the mountains of Pennsylvania, students are using outcrop-scale field mapping and strain analysis to unravel the deformation history of the Appalachians. Kutztown students have also conducted physical modeling experiments to investigate along-strike variations in the surface and subsurface structure of mountain belts. Dr. Tindall will discuss several studentfaculty research projects in various stages of completion, with examples from the desert of southern Utah, the Pennsylvania Appalachians, and the physical modeling laboratory.
