Research summary

Katherine Kravitz studies how the Earth's surface changes over time, focusing on the connections between tectonics (movements of Earth's crust), climate, landscape evolution, and biodiversity. Her work includes computer modeling of geological processes, such as salt-driven deformation in Utah and the links between environmental change and the evolution of species in regions like Madagascar. She has also researched how students develop spatial reasoning skills in geology education.

Publication activity has been modest and somewhat intermittent over the last decade, with a steady early period (2016–2020), a gap around 2021–2022, and a few recent outputs.
