Solid Earth and Crustal Processes

We study processes in the mantle and crust by fieldwork (structural geology), isotope-geochemical and geochronological methods. The aim is to contribute to the characterization of the Solid Earth, and how mantle and crustal processes shape our planet.

Understanding how continents evolved, how orogens and ocean basins developed, and how the environment and conditions for life have fluctuated through time are at the core of this group’s research. We study processes in the mantle and crust by fieldwork (structural geology), isotope-geochemical and geochronological methods.
