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. July 2020 – Associate Professor, University of Calgary (tenured)

News:
We are teaching again two 1-day short courses on 1) Rates and Dates: Dating Methods and Applications, and 2) Quantifying Sediment Provenance and Basin Thermal Histories at the annual GAC-MAC Conference 3–7 November 2021. The courses will be virtual on November 6 and 7. March 2021 - Ryan just published his MSc research project on the exhumation history of the eastern margin of the Northern Canadian Cordillera in Tectonics. Feb 2021 - MSc student Minhee Choi just published her paper on the Seismicity of the Eastern Denali Fault in Geology. Oct 2020 - Scott just published his research on the East African Rift in EPSL. Congratulations Scott! Oct 2020 - Sedy just published her first paper from the Central Iranian Shear zone in the Journal of Geodynamics. Congratulations. Sep 2020 - we hosted successfully two 1-day short courses on Geo-and Thermochrononology Dating methods and using those methods specifically to study sedimentary basins. We had a great group of mostly graduate students, and professionals from government agencies and universityprofessors. We are planning to host these two courses online again at the GAC-MAC 2021 |
