Research Description:
Theoretical, experimental, and field studies of the rates of phase changes and tectonics. Theoretical modeling focuses on the interplay between deformation and metamorphism, while experimental studies of phase transformations are devoted to collecting fundamental quantitative data on reaction rates and mechanisms. Field work focuses on the process of ophiolite emplacement, the formation of unusually steep inverted metamorphic gradients, the exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure rocks, and the evolution of the Tibetan plateau.
