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.

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 Jan 2026 - the call is now open for submitting proposals for the Annual Graduate Student Research Award from the Calgary Geo-and Thermochronology Lab. Deadline for submission is 15 March - find the guideline here. Nov 2025 - congratulations to Doug's for publishing his research on the exhumation of the Purcell Mtns MacLeod et al., 2025 Sep 2025 - congratulations to Emily for publishing her first PhD chapter on reactivating structures in Newfoundland in Tectonics Link July 2025 - congratulations to Birk Haertel for the Charles and Nancy Naeser Prize awarded by the International Standing Committee on Thermochronology |
