Research Interests:
Plate tectonics, Marine geology and geophysics
Current
Projects:
My current research involves structural and hydrothermal investigations of Earth's fastest seafloor spreading center, the East Pacific Rise between the Easter and Juan Fernandez microplates, where the plate boundary geometry is presently being reorganized by a giant duelling propagator system which may be an initial stage in microplate formation.
