Julie Varina Rowland is a New Zealand structural geologist, and is a full professor at the University of Auckland, specialising in tectonic-magmatic-hydrologic interactions, particularly in rift systems. In 2015 she became the first woman to win the Geoscience Society of New Zealand's McKay Hammer Award.

Academic career[edit]

Rowland undertook her undergraduate training at the University of Auckland, and has a Diploma in Secondary Education from the Auckland College of Education.[1] She taught at a number of Auckland schools, including Tangaroa College, James Cook High School, and St Cuthberts College, and Western Springs College, where she was head of the department of physical education.[1]

In 2001 Rowland completed a PhD titled Hydrothermal fluid redistribution in a magmatic rift: The Ruaumoko Rift System, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand at the University of Otago.[2][3] Rowland then joined the faculty of the University of Auckland, rising to full professor in 2024.[1][4] Rowland was the Head of School of Environment,[5] and as of 2024 is the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Science Administration.[1] In 2024 Rowland was elected to serve two years as Vice President of Regional Affairs for the international Society of Economic Geologists.[6]

Rowland's research interests focus on tectonic-magmatic-hydrologic interactions. Her work is of relevance for understanding geological hazards, fundamental tectonics, and mineral exploration.[7][1]

Honours and awards[edit]

In 2015 Rowland was awarded the Geoscience Society of New Zealand's major award, the McKay Hammer Award. She was the first woman to win the award.[8][9]
