معرفی
Carly Faber serves as an Associate Professor in Structural Geology and Tectonics within the Department of Geosciences at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Her research integrates field-based structural analysis with metamorphic petrology to investigate mountain building processes, subduction zone dynamics, and geohazards. She is an active member of the Solid Earth Sciences, Mineral Resources and Geohazards research group and contributes to the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) project at the university.
Dr. Faber's research interests span structural geology, tectonics, subduction zones, metamorphic petrology, and climate-driven geohazards. Her work examines deformation mechanisms in various tectonic settings including the Scandinavian Caledonides, Yukon-Tanana Terrane, and Naukluft Nappe Complex. She investigates how rocks deform during mountain building, subduction, and exhumation processes, with particular attention to the relationships between deformation, metamorphism, and fluid-rock interactions. Her more recent work extends into snow science education and avalanche risk management.
Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent focus on structural evolution of orogenic systems, with increasing emphasis on geohazards and educational applications in recent years. Her work demonstrates strong international collaboration across North America, Europe, and Africa, addressing fundamental questions in tectonics while developing practical applications for geohazard mitigation.
Dr. Faber actively contributes to geoscience education through innovative teaching approaches that bridge research and instruction. Her work on university snow science courses and building resilience to climate-driven geohazards through the GEOMME partnership demonstrates commitment to translating scientific knowledge into practical educational frameworks. She has explored how teaching questions can be transformed into research questions, enhancing the integration of education and research in geoscience.
Based in the Naturfagbygget (Science Building) office 1.249 in Tromsø, Dr. Faber maintains active field research programs in multiple geological settings worldwide while contributing to UiT's mission as Norway's northernmost university with expertise in Arctic conditions and processes.
