Research Interests
- Fabric studies and quantitative texture analysis of fine grained sediments
- Paleostress analysis and study of the mechanics of low-angle detachment faults
- Mass balances across convergent margins
- Studies on fluid flow, gas hydrate processes, cementation and diagenetic reactions in marine sediments and authigenic carbonates
- Geochemical study of fluid-rock interaction in collision zones with incipient temperature and pressure, e.g. Barbados and Makran Accretionary Prisms, Mediterranean Ridge, Malaysia, Japan Trench (ODP Leg 186), Caucasus
- Sediment stability in marine settings influenced by humans (scour, fluid mud, remobilisation dynamics)
- Frictional properties of marine sediments and their significance for earthquake nucleation and slope stability
- In situ characterisation of sediment physical properties for landslide and seismogenesis research
- Long-term observatory science to monitor physical properties at active margins (including instrument design)
- The role of ocean research drilling (e.g. IODP) in marine geosciences (e.g. coordination of the Deep Sea & Sub-Seafloor Frontier initiative)
