Nathan Niemi
Tectonics, Neotectonics, and Thermochronology
University of Michigan
Research Interests
Nathan Niemi’s research interests are in continental deformation, with an emphasis on actively deforming tectonic systems. Detailed field mapping, neotectonic studies, geodesy, thermochronology and clumped and stable isotopes are some of the methods he applies to compare how crustal deformation is accommodated during orogenesis over a wide range of timescales, from decades to tens of millions of years.
Positions
I am seeking motivated graduate students who are interested in field geology, tectonics, and thermochronology for Fall 2024 for a recently funded project in New Zealand.
