Christie D. Rowe (born 1978) is a Professor of Geology at
McGill University . She holds a
Canada Research Chair in Earthquake Geology and was awarded the 2017
Geological Association of Canada
W. W. Hutchison Medal .
Rowe is from
Strawberry ,
Tuolumne County ,
Northern California .
[1]
[2] Rowe eventually studied geology at
Smith College , where she worked on metamorphic rocks including
blueschists and
eclogites .
[3]
[4] She was taught by John Brady and H. Robert (Bob) Burger.
[3] In 2007, Rowe received her
PhD from the
University of California, Santa Cruz .
[5] Rowe's doctoral work with J. Casey Moore attempted to reconstruct the earthquake cycles in
Kodiak Island .
[6] Rowe moved to South Africa in 2007 where she taught structural geology and plate tectonics at the
University of Cape Town .
[7]
In 2009 Rowe was appointed an
National Science Foundation -MARGINS postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she worked on
geophysical observations, including study of the transient fluidisation of
granular fault rocks in Alaska and Namibia with
Emily Brodsky .
[8]
Deep-sea Drilling Vessel "CHIKYÜ ".
In 2011 Rowe joined
McGill University as a Wares Scholar in
economic geology . Rowe works on earthquake processes, including research in
seismology ,
structural geology and
mineralogy .
[9] She has investigated fossilised earthquakes, including studying the fault that caused the
2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami . Rowe was a member of the science party for
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 343 on the scientific drilling vessel, the
Chikyū , to study the fault under the
Japan Trench that slipped in the
2011 Tōhoku earthquake .
[10] Rowe is a member of the
Southern California Earthquake Center , and has studied the
Marin Headlands and other rocks of the
Franciscan Complex .
[11]
[12]
Her work has included studying the vulnerability to destruction of
pseudotachylites , which are described in her work as underreported when compared to earthquakes in active faults.
[13] She has studied exhumed fault zones, including
pseudotachylite as an indicator of fossilised earthquake ruptures.
[14] Rowe's work has shown amorphous nanosilica as involved in the process of lubrication and healing of
earthquakes .
[15]
In 2017 Rowe was awarded the
Geological Association of Canada
W.W. Hutchison Medal .
[16] That year she was also appointed a
Canada Research Chair in earthquake geology.[

[18] Rowe serves on the editorial board of the
Journal of Structural Geology and the
Geological Society of America 's journals
Geology (journal) and
Lithosphere .
