Research Areas
My main research interests are in paleo-environments and neo-tectonics of the East African Rift system with a major focus on the Malawi Rift focussing on the processes, timing and mechanisms at various spatio-temporal scales. I also have broad interests in geological environments, resources and hazards due to these processes.,
Profile
My main research interests are in paleo-environments and neo-tectonics of the East African Rift system with a major focus on the Malawi Rift. Among these interests, I consider various aspects of the rifting process at various spatio-temporal scales such as rifting mechanisms and processes, geological environments, resources and hazards due to these processes.
