Continental orogenesis

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

tectonic geomorphology, geodynamics, thermochronology

Lithospheric dripping

Enigmatic geodynamic processes 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
