New Geology Faculty


Robinson Cecil received a BA in Geology from Vanderbilt University and MS and PhD degrees in Geosciences from the University of Arizona.  She is presently finishing a postdoc at Caltech and will start at CSUN this coming fall.  Robinson's research focuses on problems in regional tectonics, using mainly geo- and thermo-chronometry and radiogenic isotope geology to better understand the magmatic and topographic evolution of continental arcs.  She is particularly interested the interplay between lithospheric-scale tectonic processes operating at depth in orogenic systems and their associated surface responses.
