Prof. Dutrow is a metamorphic petrologist and petrologic mineralogist with research interests spanning from continental scale tectonometamorphism to micrometer scale crystallochemical interactions in minerals. Her research involving time transient 3-D computational modeling of heat and mass transport unifies these approaches and relates the influence of heat, fluids, and fluid flow on the development of metamorphic terranes. In addition, she uses a variety of analytical instrumentation and was one of the first petrologists to use the ion microprobe to analyze the ‘forgotten’ light elements in minerals (Li, H). Her research combines geologic field mapping, geochemical and mineral chemical data, theoretical analyses and experimental work.
She also serves as the Curator for the mineralogy and petrology collections of the Natural History Museum at LSU.
