My expertise lies in the utilization of Low-Temperature Thermochronology datasets (i.e., a set of geo-thermo-chronometers routinely applied to constrain vertical movements), which I combine with more traditional geoscientific fields (e.g., sedimentology, structural geology, geophysics, etc.…) and tools (e.g., fieldwork, GIS, numerical modelling, etc.…) in both deep past and future times.
I have regional expertise is in northern Africa and in the continental rims of the Central Atlantic Ocean.
