Terry Engelder's (Penn State B.S., 1968; Yale M.S., 1972; Texas A&M, Ph.D., 1973) research focus covers a range of subjects encompassing structural geology, rock mechanics and tectonophysics. His Ph.D. and early post doctoral work involved experiments on the frictional properties of rocks as they pertain to fault zone development and earthquake mechanics. While at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory he developed several techniques for determining in situ stress through strain relaxation of rocks and hydraulic fracture. This work was compiled in Terry's research monograph, "Stress Regimes in the Lithosphere". Presently, he has both field and lab studies on the development of rock fractures and joints. His research in the development of joints in sedimentary basins includes both theoretical work on natural hydraulic fracturing as well as field work in such mountain ranges as the Appalachians, the Coast Ranges of California, the Apennines of Italy, the Salt Range of Pakistan, and the Rocky Mountains. Other research interests include the tectonics of foreland fold-thrust belts with particular focus on the Appalachian Mountains. He has documented one of the world's best exposed petroleum geosystems during his work on outcrops of the Appalachian Basin. For the past decade Terry has organized a consortium of oil companies to support his work on the development of abnormal pressure and seals in the important petroleum producing basins of the world. Major academic honors include a Senior Fulbright Fellowship to study in Australia in 1984 and the Wilson Distinguished Teaching Award at Penn State in 1992.
