My research interests focus on the structural evolution and deformation of sedimentary basins and more particularly:
The interaction of tectonics, structural geology and sedimentology using both 3D sub-surface and 3D outcrop data sets. In particular a) using sedimentology / stratigraphy to understand temporal and spatial variations in faulting and folding, b) changes in sedimentology in response to tectonic variations and c) generation of 3D outcrop models to increase understanding of basin evolution.
The development of passive continental margins, and interaction of tectonics, subsidence, sedimentation and sea level fluctuations in controlling margin architecture and evolution.
Using integrated basin models to develop better predictive hydrocarbon generation and migration models.
Integrating sub-surface and field studies.

An important aspect of teaching is being able to deliver exciting and innovative science education to the wider public audience. Earth Sciences in particular is a wonderful subject to engage people,and in particular children, therefore, I co-founded NESciE Natural Environment Science Education to deliver formal and informal Earth Science education to remote communities - click on SCIENCE OUTREACH on the left for more information.
