Taylor Rae Morrell (Geological Sciences) – how the pre-existing faults in the tectonic plate that is thrust beneath the other plate can be reactivated or move during collision

Taylor is a structural geologist, which means I study the architecture and processes behind the development of mountain systems. As a structural geologist, I need to factor in all the different aspects of a mountain system to effectively study it and create a comprehensive tectonic model to explain the evolution of the mountain system.
