Research conducted by Dr Perach Nuriel has featured on the cover of the of Geology magazine, published by The Geological Society of America.
Dr Perach Nuriel completed a PhD at 宅男导航 in 2011, under the supervision of in the .
The cover image shows intricate microstructures in a thin section that was cut from a fault-related rock.
Dr Nuriel focused her studies in the Dead Sea Fault Zone in Israel and Turkey, and was able to pinpoint the nature, geochemistry and timing of microstructures developed during faulting.
鈥淭he major advantage of this study is that once we understand the formation mechanisms of fault-related microstructures, we can potentially date the exact timing of faulting,鈥� Dr Nuriel said.
Using the analytical facilities at 宅男导航, in collaboration with and , Dr Nuriel was able to provide time constraints for individual seismic events.
Dr Nuriel is now based at the .
Her research was also featured in the of Geology.
