Jordan Phethean

Jordan Phethean is a Senior Lecturer in Economic Geology and Metamorphic Geology at the College of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on tectonic processes, continental breakup, and geodynamic modeling.

• Research Areas: Economic Geology, Metamorphic Geology, Tectonics, Geodynamics, Structural Geology, and Petroleum Geology.

Phethean's recent work explores the Rovuma Transform Margin's continent-ocean transition, mid-ocean ridge hotspots driven by dense melt residues, and halokinetically overprinted tectonic inversion in Atlantic margins. His studies often involve numerical modeling of plate tectonic reorganization and fault reactivation.
