John Singleton, Associate Professor

I am a field-oriented structural geologist in the Geosciences Department at Colorado State University. Most of my research involves geologic mapping and geometric + kinematic analysis of structures, typically integrated with geo/thermochronology and/or microstructural analysis. Some prominent research themes include: a) development of metamorphic core complexes and large-magnitude extension, b) structural and rheological controls on strain localization, c) reactivation of fault/shear zones, d) strike-slip deformation during oblique convergence, and e) tectonic development of the western United States.
