Dr. Charles M. Onasch serves as Professor and Director of the School of Earth, Environment and Society at Bowling Green State University (BGSU), a position he has held since 2007. He joined BGSU in 1983 as Assistant Professor of Geology, advancing to Associate Professor (1986-92) and Professor (1992-present), after serving as Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland (1977-83). His academic credentials include: Ph.D. in Geology from Pennsylvania State University (1977) M.S. in Geology from University of Massachusetts, Amherst (1974) A.B. in Geology from Franklin & Marshall College (1971) Dr. Onasch's research centers on Structural Geology with emphasis on fluid-mediated rock deformation at low temperatures, microstructural analysis of quartz-rich systems, and tectonic strain characterization in thrust belts and cratonic settings. His methodology integrates field mapping, laboratory experiments, and computational visualization techniques to bridge microscale deformation processes with regional tectonic frameworks. Analysis of his 2000-2009 publications reveals consistent focus on quartz-rich rock deformation mechanisms, particularly fluid composition effects during faulting and innovative computational approaches for microstructural analysis. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between structural geology, geomechanics, and geoinformatics, with primary outlets in the Journal of Structural Geology and Tectonophysics. Current research initiatives examine fluid roles in low-temperature deformation and implement 3D interactive animation with low-cost VR systems to enhance geoscience education. He teaches undergraduate courses including Introduction to Geology and Earth Structure and Tectonics, alongside graduate courses in Advanced Structural Geology, Engineering Geology, and Environmental Geophysics.

Professor Paul Dirk Bons is a faculty member at the University of Tübingen's Faculty of Geosciences, leading the Structural Geology working group. His research focuses on microstructural processes in geological materials and ice dynamics, with extensive DFG-funded project experience. His primary research spans structural geology and rock deformation mechanisms, specializing in subgrain structure development in rocks/metals, numerical modeling of partial melt microstructures, and deformation-recrystallization processes in polar ice. He also investigates fluid pathways in hydrothermal systems, exemplified by his Mount Painter Inlier case study in South Australia, integrating geology, materials science, and computational techniques. Professor Bons has directed multiple completed DFG projects including 'Subgrain structure development in rocks and metals (MineralSubstructureDynamics)', 'Numerical modeling of partial melt microstructures', and polar ice deformation studies. His work demonstrates expertise in computational geodynamics through infrastructure-focused programs and standard grants. He heads the Structural Geology working group at Tübingen, which conducts advanced microstructural simulations of deformation mechanisms across geological materials and ice systems.

Emily Walsh is a Professor of Geology in the Department of Geology at the University of Iowa, teaching courses including Physical Geology (GEO 111), Iowa Geology (GEO 114), Mineralogy (GEO 212), and advanced petrology courses. Her academic background: Ph.D. in Geological Sciences, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2003 B.A. in Geology, Middlebury College, 1997 Professor Walsh specializes in ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism, tectonics, and petrology, with fieldwork focused on the Western Gneiss Region of Norway and the North Qaidam UHP belt in China. Her research integrates field geology, geochemistry, and geochronology to reconstruct pressure-temperature-time paths of metamorphic terranes, particularly examining exhumation mechanisms in subduction zones. Analysis of her 2004-2013 publications reveals consistent focus on Norwegian ultrahigh-pressure terranes, utilizing thermochronology, trace-element geochemistry, and structural analysis to model exhumation histories. Her collaborative work frequently addresses tectonic evolution through zircon dating and thermobarometric techniques applied to eclogites and associated rocks. Professor Walsh has mentored over 20 student researchers, guiding projects on thermobarometry of UHP eclogites, zircon geochronology, and structural analysis across global field sites including Norway, China, and Vermont. Her advisees have investigated topics ranging from rubies in Alpine settings to permafrost-related instabilities and Precambrian gneiss complexes.
