Claire Orlov

Claire Orlov is a Lecturer in Earth Science at the University of Wollongong, affiliated with the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health and the School of Science. She has been in this academic role since 2024, bringing extensive experience from her prior position as a Geoscientist at Geoscience Australia (2014–2024).

Research Interests: Her expertise lies in planetary geology, particularly structural geology and tectonics on Mars. She employs remote sensing, photogrammetry, and 3D seismic data analysis to study crustal deformation, faulting, and magmatic processes on planetary surfaces. Her work bridges Earth-based geological methods with extraterrestrial applications.

The recent articles highlight a strong focus on Martian tectonics, especially in the Tempe Terra region, analyzing extensional structures, dyke-induced grabens, and magmatic influences using high-resolution data. Her research integrates field-scale geological interpretation with planetary remote sensing, contributing to understanding the tectonic evolution of Mars.
