معرفی
Julie Newman is a Professor and Department Head in the Department of Structural Geology and Tectonics at Texas A&M University, holding the Ray C. Fish Professorship. Her research focuses on understanding the rheology and deformation mechanisms of Earth's lithosphere through integrated field, experimental, and microstructural analyses. She investigates strain localization, fluid-rock interactions, and metamorphic processes in crustal and upper mantle rocks, utilizing techniques like optical microscopy, electron microscopy (including EBSD), and geochemical analysis.
Education: She earned her Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Rochester. Awards: She was recognized as a Montague – Center for Teaching Excellence Scholar at Texas A&M University (2010).
Research Trends: Her recent work emphasizes the interplay between deformation and metamorphism in ultramafic complexes, mantle lithosphere dynamics, and the development of open-source tools like the StraboSpot data system for structural geology. She collaborates extensively on projects involving subduction zone processes, shear zone mechanics, and digital field methodologies.
Her publications span structural geology, tectonics, and mineral physics, with a focus on experimental deformation, microstructural evolution, and field-based rheology studies. Collaborative efforts include advancing computational frameworks for analyzing thin sections and integrating big data approaches in geological research.
