معرفی
Dr. Dyanna Czeck is a Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), part of the College of Letters & Science. She specializes in structural geology with a focus on deformation mechanisms, shear zones, and rheology in naturally deformed rocks. Her work integrates field studies, petrographic analysis, and advanced techniques such as electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and FTIR.
Education:
- PhD in Geology, University of Minnesota
- BS in Geology, University of Iowa
Research Interests:
Her research explores strain, deformation fabric formation, and rheology across global locations including Spain, Scotland, Canada, and the U.S. She investigates tectonic processes in shear zones, deformation of conglomerates, and granite emplacement fabrics. Collaborations with students are central to her projects.
Key Contributions:
Dr. Czeck’s studies bridge field observations with laboratory techniques, advancing understanding of crustal deformation. Notable work includes analyzing cleavage refraction in layered rocks and modeling oblique transpression in shear zones.
Awards:
- 2008 Graduate School, UW-Milwaukee Foundation Research Award
Teaching & Advising:
She teaches courses on structural geology, tectonic history, and field methods. While no specific student advisees are listed, her research actively involves student collaborators.
Labs & Fieldwork:
Her work emphasizes interdisciplinary field studies paired with cutting-edge analytical methods, reflecting a commitment to advancing both theoretical and applied structural geology.
