I’m Dr. Chris Rowan, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geology at Kent State University. My research focus is understanding plate tectonics and deformation of the earth’s crust, on both global and regional scales, using geophysical data, paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, and scaled analogue models. I am also interested in geological education, particularly how students learn to visualise geological structures.
