Elizabeth J. Catlos
I am a geologist in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I am interested in the way the Earth works. I study how mountains form and how the Earth changed over geological time.
Specific research interests: metamorphic/tectonic evolution of mountain ranges, applying/developing accessory mineral geochronology to broad questions about Earth’s history, models for heat, mass, and fluid flow along fault systems
