About

In my research I focus on the influence of deformation, stress changes and fracture mechanics on the flow of fluids in the Earth’s crust, with particular application to mining and exploration problems. I am currently working across all scales, from the tectonic processes shaping the geomorphology of our landscape, to the macroscopic and microscopic deformation mechanisms involved in the earthquake cycle and the formation of fault rocks.

Research skills include field mapping, the 3-D visualisation of data from mineral deposits to tectonic plates, GIS and tectonic geomorphology, fault/vein geometry and fractals, computational tectonics and fault mechanics (using both boundary-element code, ideal for fracture mechanics, and Langragian particle-in-cell finite element code, ideal for thermal-mechanical modelling of tectonic plates).

I am keen to collaborate on projects relating to the fundamental science fields of faulting and crustal fluid flow, as well as the applied science fields of ore deposit formation and geothermal energy.
