Tectonic evoluiton of sedimentary basins in orogens

沉积岩记录了造山带(山脉带)的构造事件。我的研究使用沉积岩中的证据来得出关于导致造山(造山)的构造过程的结论。这项工作涉及多学科，涉及以下方面的数据分析：现场测绘；测量地层序列；分析地震数据以成像地下结构；以及碎屑锆石年代学，以获得有关沉积物来源的信息。工作的重点是加拿大东部和欧洲西北部的阿巴拉契亚/喀里多内德造山带，但其他研究将跟进加拿大科迪莱拉之前的工作。在这些项目中工作的本科生和研究生将获得在不同地区整合实验室和现场技术的特殊经验。

Sedimentary rocks provide records of tectonic events in orogens (mountain belts). My research uses the evidence in sedimentary rocks to draw conclusions about the tectonic processes that led to orogenesis (mountain building). The work is multidisciplinary, and involves the analysis of data from: field mapping; measuring successions of strata; analysis of seismic data to image the subsurface structure; and detrital zircon geochronology, to gain information about sediment provenance. Work is focussed on the Appalachian/Caledonide orogen of Eastern Canada and NW Europe, but additional studies will follow up previous work in the Canadian Cordillera. Undergraduate and graduate students working on these projects will gain exceptional experience integrating laboratory and field techniques in diverse regions.
