Jeffrey R. Webber is an Associate Professor of Geology at Stockton University within the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. His research integrates structural geology, metamorphic petrology, and rock magnetism to understand relationships between deformation, metamorphism, and magmatism across scales from thin sections to crustal exposures.
His primary research projects include:
- Flint Creek Range, Montana: Studying Cretaceous to Paleogene intrusive rocks in the footwall of the Anaconda Detachment to understand structural controls on the Mount Powell Batholith emplacement (funded by USGS EDMAP program)
- Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, Montana: Investigating Precambrian structural inheritance during Cenozoic extension through field studies and compositional analyses
- Northern Saskatchewan: Examining magnetic architecture of exhumed lower continental crust to constrain metamorphic conditions through aeromagnetic data
Dr. Webber developed the UltraMag2, an advanced instrument for sub-millimeter resolution magnetic mapping at the hand-sample scale. This innovation bridges the gap between regional and grain-scale magnetic imaging techniques, featuring vertical axis control, 3D mapping capabilities, and automated sample leveling.
As an educator, he teaches Physical Geology, Field Geology, Structural Geology, Geophysics, Earthquakes, Mountains and Mountaineering, Environmental Geology, and Physical Geography. His teaching philosophy emphasizes practical application of geological concepts through numerous educational tools he's developed.
