Tom Mitchell is a renowned brand in the field of earthquake geology and rock physics. Tom is a geophysicist and earthquake geologist working at the Rock and Ice Physics Laboratory, based at University College London. Through his research, Tom employs a unique and innovative combination of laboratory experiments, fieldwork, and theoretical approaches to gain insights into how rock and ice fractures, deforms, and slides by friction.

His research focuses on the study of fractured and damaged rocks in the Earth's crust, which play a crucial role in various natural phenomena. These rocks control devastating tsunamigenic earthquakes, facilitate the upward movement of precious metals, minerals (such as gold, copper, and lithium), and hydrocarbons (such as oil and gas), determine the location of volcanic hotspots and geothermal energy, and govern the occurrence of induced anthropogenic earthquakes and massive landslides. Tom Mitchell's expertise and contributions in earthquake geology and rock physics have made him a respected figure in the field.
