约翰·N. 妓女,Ph值.D.

Assistant Professor of Environmental Science

约翰·N. 妓女,Ph值.D.Dr. Hooker grew up in Beaumont, Texas. He studied geology at UT Austin, where he earned his BA, MS, and PhD. He minored in astronomy and loves learning about nature. He also enjoys reading about history and economics, and reading a wide range of fiction. He was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Oxford and an instructor at Penn State before arriving at 校本. His studies have taken him all over the world, 包括玻利维亚, 苏格兰, 约旦, 中间还有很多地方. In his spare time he likes to play chess and ultimate frisbee, 唱吉尔伯特和沙利文, 练习钢琴和吉他, 和妻子一起旅行, 儿子, 和女儿.

Dr. Hooker's main research focus is about how chemical reactions influence fracturing in Earth's crust. Natural fractures host devastating earthquakes and provide the space for fluids to circulate through the crust. 天然裂缝模式, 在空间和时间上, are affected by mineral reactions, and understanding this interaction can improve our ability to predict when and where fracture opening or slip events will occur. Fracturing, in turn, enables mineral reactions by generating reactive surface areas in the crust. This process enables ore deposit formation as well as silicate weathering, by which silicon-bearing minerals dissolve and contribute alkalinity to surface waters, ultimately drawing down atmospheric carbon dioxide. Dr. Hooker's recent work has included developing an earthquake simulator (www.mefisto.org), experimenting with plant and fungus growth to break down olivine, building tools to distinguish nonrandom fracture patterns, and using cemented fractures to retrace paleofluid conditions in the subsurface. He is a research fellow with the Structural Diagenesis Initiative at UT Austin (www.jsg.utexas.edu/sdi/) and is always happy to talk rock.
