Tectonics and Structural Geology

Anne Pluymakers

I am an assistent professor in the Rock Mechanics Lab at TU Delft, in the Netherlands. My work-related hobby is figuring out how rocks break, and how fluids affect fracture dynamics. My main rock of interest is limestone at the moment, but I also happily work on related topics, such as what do fractures in natural rocks look like, and imaging projects on fluid flow. I mostly do laboratory work, and any associated microstructural investigations. But there are also the occasional field excursions, to not lose touch with geology. In the blogteam I am happy to edit blogs, and also to occasionally contribute myself. Outside of work, I love sitting in the sun with a decent cup of coffee and a good book, or to organize dinners for my friends. You can reach me via e-mail.

You’re an early career scientist and you want to go somewhere… but where?

Only a few more days and the General Assembly of the EGU 2017 will start! Five exciting days with science and the opportunity to meet your colleagues and collaborators, both the old and the new. Earlier this week the outgoing TS President Susanne Buiter and the incoming TS President Claudio Rosenberg posted a blog with …[Read More]

About

Welcome to the blog of the Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS) Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). Here you can find a whole range of fun and informative posts related to tectonics and structural geology, such as interviews with established scientists, descriptions of common features in the field, as well as updates on the latest research being carried in these scientific areas. This blog is run with great enthusiasm by Hannah Davies, David Fernández-Blanco, Derya Gürer, Samuele Papeschi, Elenora van Rijsingen, Silvia Brizzi and Anne Pluymakers. Everybody is invited to contribute to the blog and submit posts to the editor-in-chief Hannah Davies.
