John Waldron is a structural sedimentary geologist focusing on deformed sedimentary rocks, with a particular interest in the tectonic history of Earth as recorded in these formations. He has been an academic at the University of Alberta since 2000, having taught courses on Structural Geology and Tectonics at multiple levels, as well as Introductory Earth Science Field Schools in the Cordillera region. His research interests are centered on the northern Appalachians and the continuation of studies in the Northwest European Caledonides, exploring the effects of plate tectonics on Earth's crust. His work often combines fieldwork with geophysical and geochronological data to study the evolution of deformed sedimentary basins associated with the Appalachian and Caledonide orogens. His laboratory is equipped with advanced tools for structural geology research. He is involved in various teaching initiatives aimed at enhancing learning experiences for students in the geosciences.
