Hello and Welcome!

Contact Information: Dr. C. J. Northrup Assistant Professor Department of Geosciences Boise State University 1910 University Drive Boise, ID 83725 cjnorth@boisestate.edu phone: (208) 426-1009 FAX: (208) 426-4061

My principal research and teaching interests lie in the areas of Structural Geology and Tectonics.  The amazing geologic diversity of the northwestern United States makes Idaho a fantastic place to live, work, and study.  The rich geologic environment offers a wide variety of potential research problems, and it provides spectacular examples of structural features for students at Boise State University to examine first-hand on field trips.  Consequently, my research and teaching are both strongly field-oriented.
