The Birth and Evolution of Plate Boundary Systems: The Critical Role of Strain Rate part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2026 Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
A conference abstract page presents a geoscientific talk exploring the role of strain rate in the development and maturation of plate boundary systems, using the East African Rift System as a case study to examine lithospheric stress distribution, feedback mechanisms between brittle and viscous layers, and the influence of crustal composition on tectonic evolution.

Combining AMS and EBSD to unravel kinematic histories in granitic plutons part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2024 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
Academic abstract page presenting a structural geology study that integrates Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) to analyze kinematic histories in granitic plutons, specifically the Mt Edgar dome in Western Australia, highlighting systematic variations in crystallographic preferred orientation and vorticity axes.
