Biography:
My research focuses on developing new insights into the mechanical behaviour of faults, and how fault behaviour effects geological processes such as orogeny. I use observational techniques ranging from geomorphology, space-borne satellite geodesy (InSAR, GPS), seismology, potential field analysis, paleoseismic trenching and structural geology, combined with numerical modelling, to study both active and ancient fault zones.
