Ductile Shear Zones

Soumyajit Mukherjee is a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India where he teaches structural geology and stratigraphy. He is an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Earth Sciences. He received the Hutchison Young Scientist Award from IUGS, and worked as a Guest Researcher at the Hans Ramberg Tectonic Lab, Uppsala University, Sweden. Kieran F. Mulchrone is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Applied Mathematics, School of Mathematical Sciences, University College, Cork where he runs the M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing. His research delves into the interface between structural geology and applied mathematics. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Structural Geology.
