Research

 

Scientific Interest

Topics:  (i) tectonic evolution and exhumation processes in orogenic belts; relationships between tectonics and erosion in active orogens and detrital fluxes in adjoining sedimentary basins; (ii) sediment provenance, transport, storage, burial and reworking; (iii) methodological approaches to detrital geo/thermochronological analyses

Tools:  Field geology (sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology); geologic interpretation of seismic data sets; detrital geochronology and thermochronology

Field sites:    Orogenic belts of the Western Mediterranean, North Africa, East Asia and Pacific

Laboratory:   Fission-track analysis

 

Field Work

Western Alps (1995-2010); Scotland (1995); High-Atlas and Anti-Atlas (2004-2006); Southalpine retroforeland basin (2008-2010); Corsica (since 2006); Northern Apennines (since 2010); Tertiary Piedmont basin (since 2011); Dabie Shan (2016, 2018); Tian Shan (2019)
