Welcome to the Structural Geology & Tectonics research group at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville! We combine fundamental skills in structural geology with field, analytical, and numerical modeling techniques to understand the forces and dynamic interactions driving crustal deformation, topographic evolution, basin accumulation, and lithospheric dynamics.
Our group believes that a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community is fundamental to advancing scientific creativity and innovation, and promoting such a community is as important as our research goals. We welcome policies expanding diversity, access, & engagement at the University of Tennessee.
We are looking for new MS/PhD students, & a postdoctoral researcher, to join our group starting Fall 2025 – particularly those interested in contributing to NSF-funded research opportunities in the Andes and North American Cordillera. (We are also committed to undergraduate student involvement in these projects!) If you are a prospective group member, please check out our group & research pages and reach out to PI Chelsea Mackaman-Lofland to discuss potential projects.
You can learn more about the Earth, Environmental, & Planetary Sciences (EEPS) Department at UTK here. Graduate application packets are due January 1 to ensure full consideration for TA/RA support and other opportunities.
