Dr. Paul J. Umhoefer
Title: Professor
Degree: Ph.D., University of Washington
Specialty: Tectonics
Research Interests: My research is focused on Tectonics, especially active and young tectonics of Late Cenozoic time. My main research interest is in the tectonic evolution of, and processes that form, oblique plate boundaries. More specifically, I study basins and related faults that form in these settings, and the processes and evolution of areas with mixed strike-slip and dip-slip faulting. My research is field based and my students and I use the methods of structural geology, stratigraphy, and related disciplines to understand tectonic problems. The research I conduct is inevitably collaborative with researchers in many other fields, but especially in paleontology, sedimentology, geochronology, petrology, marine seismology, geodesy, and paleomagnetism.
