Tectonics and Geomorphology at WWU

Welcome! This page summarizes research activities in the tectonics and geomorphology research group in the Geology Department at Western Washington University. Please see the Research Group page for current opportunities in the lab.

PI: Colin Amos

I am field geologist specializing in tectonic geomorphology, earthquake geology, and structural geology. Essentially, I study active faults and folds that shape the Earth's landscape and present earthquake hazards for humans. I use a variety of field-based and remote tools for this work, including mapping, trenching, lidar, geochronology, etc. I teach classes at Western Washington University ranging from introductory geology to field camp, as well as graduate specialty courses.
