My main research interest is to quantitatively understand geoprocesses and their interrelations with a focus on those processes in which fluids play an important role. Besides geophysical and rock physics data, the marine and onshore acquisition of which, is among the practical work I am undertaking. I use physical experiments and numerical simulation to study e.g. deformation at continental margins or fluid flow in sedimentary basins. Gas hydrate systems and slope stability at convergent margins like Hikurangi or Peru, sediment mobilization processes, and to image structures and flow systems in forearc but also intra-continental basins like in mid-Europe are topics of recent and ongoing projects.
