Jamie Kirkpatrick

Dr. Jamie Kirkpatrick is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), affiliated with the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering. He focuses on understanding Earth's deformation processes, particularly fault dynamics and their implications for natural hazards and resource exploration.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Geological Sciences, University of Glasgow, 2008
• M.S. in Geological Sciences, University of Leeds, 2003

Research Interests: Combines field observations, microstructural analysis, and experimental methods to study fault mechanics, earthquake drivers, and fluid flow in the Earth's crust. Applications include improving hazard assessments and optimizing resource extraction strategies.
