ICREA Research Professor at UB (Universitat de Barcelona). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

I completed a BSc. in Geology (Hons 1st Class) at Glasgow University in 1984 and a Masters in Computer Science at Bradford University in 1987. Thereafter I worked on satellite rainfall prediction and hydrological modelling at Reading University for 2 years, before undertaking a PhD at the University of London (1989-1994) in Mathematical Modelling of Tectonics and Sedimentation. Two Postdoc fellowships then followed: A 2-year Royal Society European Science Exchange Fellowship at CSIC (Jaume Almera) in Barcelona and 1-year post-doc working with John Suppe at Princeton University. I was then a lecturer in the Earth Science Department of the University of Manchester for 5 years. Since 2003 I have been an ICREA Research Professor in the Faculty of Geology, Universitat de Barcelona.

Research Interests
|
|
|
I work in mathematical numerical modelling of geological processes (tectonics, sedimentation, volcanology, etc.) and use a variety of different approaches to try to better understand (through both modelling and validation) the various relationships preserved in the geological record. I am interested in both continuum (e.g. finite difference, finite element) and discontinuum techniques (e.g. discrete element, SPH) both from a theoretical standpoint and in using them in practical applications. I am also very much interested in using high performance computing to run high resolution numerical models and visualize the results.
