Continental orogenesis

Investigating the tectonic, geodynamic, and climatic processes that produce large mountain belts

tectonic geomorphology, geodynamics, thermochronology

Lithospheric foundering

A deep-seated geodynamic process that may affect the evolution of mountain belts.

geodynamics, orogenesis, numerical modelling

Eclogitization

Thermodynamics of lower crustal buoyancy.

thermodynamics, fluid-mediated reactions, crustal metamorphism

Wind erosion

Hyperarid regions, such as orogenic plateaus, are mainly eroded by wind, rather than rivers or glaciers

eolian processes, climate-tectonics interactions

Streambank erosion (M.Sc. thesis)

Applying models to predict streambank erosion rate in the Gulf Coastal plain.

fluvial geomorphology, numerical modelling, environmental geology
