Auriol Rae is a Lecturer in Structural Geology at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on impact cratering, an important planetary geological process that affects the surfaces of planets and satellites in the Solar System. She investigates the complexities of impact cratering, which is challenging due to the severely affected geological processes involved in impact structures. Traditional laboratory experiments cannot replicate the processes simultaneously, making her research particularly critical. Rae employs numerical impact simulations to explore the dynamics associated with impact cratering, a methodology that allows for investigations at scales unachievable in laboratory settings. Her work integrates observational and experimental methods with numerical modeling to understand the highly dynamic processes related to planetary impacts. Recent foci of her research include dynamic rock failure, complex crater formation, and shock metamorphism.
