I specialize in structural geology and continental tectonics, with a special focus on the evolution of orogenic belts, namely the Himalayan-Tibet system. I am particularly interested in field-oriented studies dealing with ductile deformation processes, evolution of crustal-scale shear zones and associated microstructural fabric development, fold/fault relationships, and active tectonics’ features.
I am also interested by the application of centrifuge analogue modelling, U-Pb geochronology, and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology to continental tectonics. In addition to mountain belt research, I am also involved in projects focussing on seismicity and stress partitioning in continental interiors, investigation of Early Archean geology of northern Quebec, and application of structural geology to mineral exploration programs.
