My research focus is on the evolution of mountain belts over a range of length scale from hundreds to tens of kilometers. I am especially interested in understanding the evolution of landscapes that result from the interaction of tectonic forces and surface processes.
The main methods I am using are low-temperature dating techniques such as fission-track analysis and U-Th/He dating applied to bedrock and sediments to quantify the thermal history of Earth's upper crust. These data are combined with other geo- and thermochronology data, structural measurements, geomorphology, sedimentology, geophysical data, and numerical modeling. I have been working in research projects located in India, central China, Myanmar, Argentina, western US, Alaska and the Canadian Cordillera. Currently I have active research projects in the Northern Canadian Cordillera (NWT and Yukon) and in the Southern Canadian Cordillera (Alberta and BC), and along the eastern margin of North America. Since 2020 Associate Professor, University of Calgary (tenured)

Dec 2024 - we wish everyone a happy holiday season and a successful and healthy 2025. Check out our Annual Newsletter to see a synthesis of our activities in 2024
Oct 2024 - we went to TRIUMF to conduct our first heavy-ion irradiation in support of fission track length measurements. Several of our applications will profit from this. Aug 2024 - we published a paper on Ghost age components and how to deal with them in detrital thermochronology check out Haertel et al., 2024 Chem Geol July 2024 - we have two graduate students visiting for a couple weeks the lab, Boyd from the Univ. of Oklahoma and Xin from University of Victoria July 2025 - we published a paper on the multi-phase structural evolution along the northern Iranian Plateau in Tectonics June 2024 - We published a guide on how to evaluate date dispersion using a doughter-parent plot - check out Haertel and Enkelmann, 2024 May 2024 - we had a photographer Brian Zurek come and take pictures of all group members - check out our awesome pictures. April 2024 - Congratulations to Samuel Martin who is the 2024 recipient of the Annual Graduate Student Reserach Grant of our lab. We are looking forward to his visit. Mar 2024 - registration is now open for two virtual short courses on Geo-and Thermochronology (23 and 24 of May). Registration is through the GAC-MAC-PEG conference, but registration for the conference itself is not needed. March 2024 – The Cordilleran Tectonics Workshop 2024 was a great success, thanks to the organization by my group and Dave Pattison group. Next year it will be at SFU in Vancouver. |
