I am interested in understanding the interaction between tectonics and climate-driven surface processes. I am using geo-and thermochronometric methods to quantify the timing, amount, and rate of rock cooling and exhumation. I apply these methods to the scale of entire orogens (100s of km) and individual faults (<10 km), and link orogenic processes to adjacent sedimentary basins using innovative methods of multi-analyses conducted on individual detrital mineral grains. My research has been highly collaborative. I work with experts in the field of sedimentology, geophysics, geomorphology, petrology and nuclear physics. In addition to geological applications, I have a strong interest in advancing geo-and thermochronometric methods including fission-track, (U-Th)/He and U-Pb dating. Particularly the combination of these methods on individual grains using laser-ablation techniques.

Aug 2026 - the first application of detrital zircon LA-He-U-Pb double dating was published. Check out this sediment provenance study from Sardinia in G-Cube Massari et al., 2026
Jul-2026 - farewell to postdoc Akeek Maitra who is leaving the group after 3 years. We wish him all the best. Summer 2026 - welcome Hanna Tiitto and Clara Danhof that joined our group for their graduate studies. April 2026 - our Triple-dating paper is out! Combining U-Th/He, U-Pb and Raman dating on individual detrital zircons. Check it out Haertel et al., 2026 Chem, Geol. Mar 2026 - we got a new laser. After several months of trouble shooting we had to replace it. Thank you to the Faculty of Science and the Department of Earth, Energy and Environment at the University of Calgary to all chip in for this purchase. Jan 2026 - congratulations to Mauricio Haag - former recipient of the Graduate Student Award who published his results on the evolution of the Brazilian escarpment Haag et al., 2026 |
