Jane Selverstone is a geologist known for her research into tectonic processes, especially as they apply to the Eastern Alps.
[4] In 2012, Selverstone was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the citation read:[5] For elucidating the relationships among metamorphism, fluid composition and flow, and the mechanisms of deformation in the crust.She has published the finding of her research in metamorphic petrology, tectonics, geochemistry and geology in geographical journals and other peer publications hence cited with an H-index of 44 with 6096 citations and has thus published research findings in over 73 peer-reviewed journal geographical publications[6] Selverstone's research examines the interactions between water and rocks [7] and changes in rocks that occur in the subsurface.
[10] Selverstone has also used stable isotopes of chlorine to examine small-scale fluid-rock interactions.
[3] In 2006 Selverstone and Gutzler discussed their path through different research institutions as a dual-career couple.
[21] Selverstone is also a photographer primarily interested in black and white images.
