Rod Holcombe ProjectsThe map shows the location of the various structural geology projects that I have worked on over the past 50+ years. They include pure and applied academic research, as well as consulting projects. |
The following lists the major research projects I have been involved in (pure and applied), the type of project, and research colleagues and postgrad students to whom I owe so much (listed in no particular order, and with apologies for those I have missed)
