Chris Yakymchuk studies how mountain chains form through plate tectonics, focusing on thermodynamic modeling to highlight processes occurring at the microscale and the impacts of these processes on large-scale tectonics and the continental crust. His research interests include metamorphic petrology, structural geology, and the geochronology of Earth's continental crust. He employs stable and radioactive isotopes to date rock formations, investigates the processes of orogenesis and mountain formation, and addresses broader issues like climate change and the interaction between carbon dioxide capture and aquatic ecosystems. With a PhD from the University of Maryland, he has received multiple awards for his contributions to earth sciences education and research and teaches various courses in Earth Environmental Sciences.
Includes fields like Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, and Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
