Macro/meso scale studies:
- mass and volume balances along active plate margins
- computer-based forward and backward modelling of tectonic structures (2D, 3D)
- plate tectonic reconstructions
- seismic processing
- mud volcanism related to plate tectonics
Micro scale studies:
- sediment diagenesis in accretionary wedges
- deformational experiments and permeability tests on fine-grained muds and mudstones
- mineralogy of authigenic carbonate precipitates in accretionary prisms
- microfabrics, texture analysis, and strain estimations in fine-grained marine sediments
- stable isotope signatures (C, O) for pore fluid source determinations and paleotemperature estimations
Regions studying/studied:
- Japan Sea, Nankai Accretionary Prism (ODP Legs 128, 131)
- Chile Margin Triple Junction (ODP Leg 141)
- Cascadia Margin (ODP Leg 146)
- Eastern Mediterranean Sea (ODP Leg 160)
