Biography
David is a structural geologist interested in the mechanics of plate tectonics. His work investigates the three-dimensional and thermo-mechanical aspects of various plate tectonic processes including subduction, collision and continental break-up. David uses and develops scaled models of tectonic processes in the laboratory to test hypotheses derived and constrained by geological and geophysical data.
Research Interest
