Research Summary
I am interested in the growth of active normal faults and how their slip-rates and growth control earthquake recurrence and seismic hazards.
I am currently working in Italy and Greece and studying Mars.
The work involves:
(1) Structural geology fieldwork and mapping, concentrating on the geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation of active normal faults, and utilising kinematic measurements, shallow geophysics and LiDAR laser scanning;
(2) Quaternary and Holocene dating of deformed geomorphology, through study of Holocene fault scarps and Quaternary marine terraces, using 36Cl cosmogenic exposure dating and U/Th coral dating;
(3) Observations and modelling of rivers deformed by active normal faults;
(4) Mapping deformation of the surface of Mars using NASA (MOLA; MOC; VIKING; HiRISE) data;
(5) Developing theoretical and numerical models of fault growth.
