Research Bradley Hacker received his BS and MS in Geology from UC Davis in 1982 and 1984, while working for Apple Computer on Macintosh and other products. He completed his doctorate in Geology at UCLA in 1988. He then spent eight years as a postdoctoral scholar and research associate at Stanford University, and as a geologist for the US Geological Survey. He joined the UCSB faculty in 1996. Dr. Hacker is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the Geological Society of America, the Mineralogical Society of America, and the Cave Research Foundation. He, his students, postdocs, and affiliated researchers are funded by the National Science Foundation to work on exciting field, laboratory, and theoretical studies of tectonics: Field Work involves integrated structural geology, metamorphic petrology, and geochronology to understand: formation and exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure rocks in the Dabie-Sulu belt of eastern China, the Western Gneiss Region of Norway , d'Entrecasteaux Islands of Papua New Guinea, and the Kokchetav massif of Kazakhstan evolution of the Himalaya, central Tibetan plateau and the Pamir Mountains of central Asia formation of continental crust through island arc dynamics in the Talkeetna & Chugach Mountains of Alaska ophiolite emplacement in Oman, the Sierra Nevada, and the Klamath Mountains seismic anisotropy of the lower crust.
