Paul A Kapp is a Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. His expertise spans continental tectonics, regional geology, structural-stratigraphic analysis, and eolian processes, with a focus on Asia and Cordilleran orogenic systems. Fieldwork includes geologic mapping, kinematic analysis of structures, and stratigraphic section measurements across Precambrian to Quaternary rock types.

Research interests emphasize quantifying timing and rates of tectonic processes via geochronology and thermochronology. Key themes include Tibetan Plateau uplift, lithospheric dynamics in collisional zones, and eolian-landscape interactions. His work integrates field observations with analytical methods to understand orogenic plateau formation and paleoelevation reconstruction.
Recent publications highlight tectonic-climate feedbacks, mantle melting mechanisms in Tibet, and crustal deformation in the North American Cordillera. Articles often address geodynamic modeling, basin evolution, and isotopic dating applications, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to orogenic and sedimentary systems.
