Alissa Kotowski is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University specializing in Structural Geology and related fields. Her research group focuses on understanding the solid earth materials and their deformation processes through the analysis of the rock record. By applying structural and chemical techniques, her work bridges observations at atomic and field scales to enhance predictive understanding of tectonic processes. She explores critical questions related to Earth's dynamics, such as the generation and sustenance of plate tectonics, the nature of steady-state deformation, and the rheological laws governing the bulk flow and strain localization in the lithosphere and cryosphere. Her work aims to contribute to the broader understanding of geological and tectonic phenomena.
