Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Research
I am interested in the formation, geometric patterns, and fluid flow properties of fractures and faults in a broad range of scales. My students and I are involved in projects that require both a strong field component and modeling. The field component is similar to a detective's work, which aims to establish temporal and spatial relationships among various elements of a structure. The modeling component is like the moral of the story, enabling one to see through the rationale and use it for guidance in the future.

EVOLUTION OF POLYGONAL FRACTURE PATTERNS IN LAVA FLOWS
SCIENCE
1988; 239 (4839): 471-476
Abstract
Cooling-induced fractures, also known as columnar joints, divide basaltic lava flows into prismatic columns with polygonal cross sections. The regularity and symmetry of the fracture patterns have long fascinated naturalists. In view of the recent selection of two candidate nuclear waste sites in areas where polygonally fractured volcanic rocks are located, a better understanding of the fracture patterns is required. Field data indicate that the tetragonal networks at flow surfaces evolve systematically to hexagonal networks as the joints grow inward during solidification of lava. This evolution occurs by the gradual change of most orthogonal intersections to nonorthogonal intersections of about 120 degrees. The surface features and intersection geometries of columnar joints show that joint segments at any given level form sequentially yet harmoniously.
