Research interests:

My scientific interest lies in using quantitative topographic analyses, field data and numerical modelling to constrain the relationship between tectonics, erosion and topographic development. These methods are able to extract tectonic information and act as powerful tools for active fault assessment; which have implications for assessing seismic and landslide hazards.
