Matty Mookerjee

Matty Mookerjee is a Professor and Department Chair of the Department of Geological Sciences at Sonoma State University. He is a structural geologist specializing in three-dimensional kinematics of fault and shear zones. His contact email is matty.mookerjee@sonoma.edu, and his office hours are Monday 9-11 AM and Tuesday 1-2 PM in Darwin 123.

Education

• Ph.D. in Geological Science, University of Rochester (2005)
• M.S. in Geological Science, University of Rochester (2001)
• B.A. in Geology, Oberlin College (1999)
• Indiana University Summer Field Camp (1999)

His research integrates structural geology with cyberinfrastructure development, focusing on quantitative analysis of fault zones using grain shape and crystallographic texture studies, alongside creating digital tools for field data management. Recent projects span the San Andreas Fault, Denali Fault, Himalayas, and Rosy Finch Shear Zone.

Mookerjee's publications highlight analog modeling of fault asperities, strain analysis in tectonic zones, and cyberinfrastructure tools for geological data. He has mentored students in collaborative research projects, particularly in kinematic studies and data repository development.
