I am writing to express my interest and mo … I am writing to express my interest and motivation in attending the Coupling of Tectonic and Surface Processes Workshop in Boulder, Colorado. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP), Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD, and I specialize in 2D and 3D forward numerical simulations of convergent margins at lithospheric scale. </br></br>During my PhD, I have been using numerical models to better understand the evolution of continental collisions, how mountain belts are formed and why the Himalaya-Tibet belt is so strikingly different from all other mountain belts. For my postdoctoral research at IGPP, I employ numerical models to address questions regarding the dynamics and evolution of subduction and surface uplift in the context of South American tectonics. </br></br>In my work so far, I have strongly focused on analyzing the evolution of topography at convergent margins. Topography represents the dynamic adjustment between tectonic forces and surface processes. However, how do surface processes link to subduction is not clear. Currently, I am interested in investigating how sediment fluxes influence subduction dynamics or the height of mountain ranges above subduction zones. My goal is to understand the factors that cause convergent margins to either accrete continental material delivered by the subducting plate or, alternatively, to subduct the trench sediment pile and even erode the basement of the upper plate.</br></br>The main reason why I am keen on participating in the CTSP workshop is that I am highly interested in expanding my knowledge and skills necessary for studying the dynamics and evolution of convergent margins in an interdisciplinary perspective of coupling tectonics and surface processes. I believe that the CTSP workshop is one of the best opportunities to stay up-to-date with latest research in this regard.-date with latest research in this regard. +
