About me
My research aims to improve our understanding of tectonic, magmatic and geodynamic processes using a wide range of seismological techniques that construct models of crustal and mantle structure. At regional scales, my work spans a variety of active tectonic settings, including terminal-stage subduction zones in the Eastern Mediterranean, and continental rifting and plume-driven magmatism along the East African Rift. At more local scales, I apply earthquake detection and location methods to volcanic systems (Montserrat, Caribbean) and rift settings (southern Zambia) to characterise their fluid plumbing systems and geothermal potential. I have also spent time investigating tectonically stable regions that retain the geological imprints of tectonic processes which unfolded early in Earth's tectonic history and now host abundant critical mineral deposits (Central African Copperbelt).
