Research Interests：
I study tectonic evolution in a variety of settings using next generation controlled source seismic methods and drilling data. My research involves the interpretation of both deep and shallow 2D, 3D seismic and well data and the integration with potential field data to investigate structural evolution of the upper crust and the geometry of the lithosphere. My research aims to address two key societally and economically important questions:
1) What controls how subduction plate boundary faults slip?
2) What are the key controls on rift development: Is breaking up hard to do?
