Richard W. (Rick) Allmendinger is a structural geologist focused on energy and global climate change as well as earthquakes and the regional tectonics of South America. Some of his biggest contributions to the field of structural geology are the creation of the stereonet mobile[1] and GMDE mobile apps[2], as well as many other apps and programs.
Academic Career
editRichard Allmendinger obtained a BA. in the geological sciences from Cornell University in 1975 where he received distinction in all subjects[3]. He also received a PhD. with a concentration in structural geology from Stanford University in 1979[4]. Allmendinger began his career working as a geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey[5] beginning in 1976 through 1985. Also during this time, he worked as a Research Associate (III) at Cornell University[6] from 1980 through 1984. After this, Allmendinger obtained a position starting as an assistant professor at Cornell University that he has kept at through present day where he is currently an Emeritus professor[7]. He also served as the Associate Dean for the College of Engineering at Cornell from 2008 through 2011[8]. For one brief year in 2002, he was a Present Visiting Professor at the Universidad Católica del Norte in Antofagasta, Chile[9]. Allmendinger has been recognized for his work in structural geology by being inducted as a fellow into the Geological Society of America[10].
Honors and awards
