Delores Marie Robinson is an American geophysicist, professor and department chair at the University of Alabama. Her research considers how orogenic systems evolve from porto-magmatic arcs, with a particular focus on Western Nepal, India, Bhutan and Southern Tibet.
Early life and education
Robinson studied at the Guilford College, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in geology in 1994.[1] She completed a research project on the gravity and magnetics of diabase dikes in Jamestown, North Carolina.[2] She moved to Vanderbilt University for her graduate studies, earning a master's degree in 1997. Her Master's research involved the characterisation of magma chamber dynamics in Aztec Wash pluton.[3] Afer Vanderbilt, Robinson became a doctoral student at the University of Arizona researching the kinematic history, structure and stratigraphy of Western Nepal. In 2001, Robinson was awarded a PhD.[4] During robinson's research in Western Nepal, she created a geological map.[5]
Research and career
Robinson started her professional career as a structural geologist at BP in Alaska. She was appointed to the faculty University of Alabama in 2003, and promoted to Professor and Chair of Geological Sciences in 2010.[6] Her research has considered the tectonics of the Himalayas.[7][8][9] In an effort to identify hidden hydrocarbons, Robinson collects and analyses rocks and makes use of seismic data.[8]
