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.
