معرفی
Robert Moucha is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University within the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on geodynamic modeling of landscape evolution, mantle convection, and tectonic processes. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto (2003), an M.Sc. in Physics (1998), and a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Waterloo (1997).
His research interests include:
- Landscape evolution coupled with tectonics and climate
- Mantle density modeling using seismic tomography
- Continental rifting processes and mantle melting
- High-performance computing for geodynamic software development
Recent publications (2022–2024) explore topics such as climate-driven rift strain localization, mantle plume interactions with continental rifts, and paleo-ice stream dynamics. He leads collaborative projects funded by NSF, Petrobras, and Chevron, focusing on rift-climate interactions and continental margin evolution.
Teaching responsibilities include courses on Earth science, geophysical methods, and numerical methods in geosciences. He also serves on committees for equity, diversity, and research computing.
