معرفی
Associate Professor Rosalind King is an academic at the University of Adelaide's School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences, affiliated with the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology. She holds the rank of Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences. Her research focuses on Structural Geology, Tectonics, and Petroleum Geomechanics, with a specialization in deepwater fold-thrust belts, natural fracture systems, and deformation bands.
Her work includes studying detachment lithology impacts on structural styles and fluid flow dynamics. Notable projects include investigations into the NW Borneo active margin and delta systems such as the Baram and Gulf of Mexico deltas. She has contributed to ARC-funded projects exploring critical-taper wedge theory and present-day stress in fold-thrust belts.
Key publications span Proterozoic basin evolution, fault zone analysis, and geochemical studies of cements in sedimentary basins. Her research integrates seismic interpretation, numerical modeling, and field data to address tectonic and structural questions. King is an active supervisor for Masters and PhD candidates in geological and geophysical studies.
Her expertise is further highlighted by contributions to understanding stress regimes in Australian basins, fault reactivation risks, and fluid migration pathways. Ongoing projects include structural analysis of the Daly Waters Fault Zone and Sibumasu Terrane tectonics.
