Although I am traditionally regarded as a … Although I am traditionally regarded as a structural and metamorphic geologist, over the past ~5 years I have become increasingly interested in geodynamic modeling, and have done a great deal of work in both industry and academic focused on finite element modeling of salt basin evolution and wellbore geomechanics. Over the last ~3 years, my focus has shifted back to studies of mountain belt geodynamics, with a particular emphasis on understanding the thermal and mechanical evolution of these systems. My research group is now developing numerous major research studies that examine how erosion and the greater landscape response will influence (and be influenced by) the structural and thermal evolution of these systems, and how those effects may impact the system mechanical evolution. At UK, I am currently assembling a lab that includes computational clusters and mineral separation facilities to pursue a number of integrative and multidisciplinary structural, tectonic, and surface process studies that will include roughly equal parts numerical modeling and field/lab studies. Because I am an early career faculty member that is relatively new to this subdiscipline, this meeting would represent an ideal forum to meet members of the community and hopefully plant the seeds for new long-term collaborations.he seeds for new long-term collaborations. +
