Cailey Condit is an Assistant Professor in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. Her research focuses on understanding the feedback relationships between chemical and mechanical processes in the deep crust and lithosphere. By combining field and laboratory observations with natural rock records, she utilizes petrologic modeling and experimental geophysical constraints to establish how metamorphism and deformation influence the evolution of the lithosphere. Her work is particularly concentrated on the complex feedback mechanisms of metamorphic reactions and the behavior of fault zones in subduction and continental collisional zones. Through her research, Condit aims to constrain the petrologic and mechanical processes that transform lithospheric properties, including density, rheology, and seismic anisotropy, which have significant geodynamic tectonic consequences. She collaborates closely with deformation experimentalists and geophysicists to better understand these multifaceted geologic processes.
