Academic Groups

This is an alphabetical listing of research groups at universities that have web pages set up specifically for structural geology and tectonic studies.  Here's a more comprehensive list of universities with web pages and a list of geoscience departments (here are some European ones) if you're looking for someplace else.  If you know of other structure/tectonics groups that should be listed here, please send e-mail to: geotech
