​I study geology (stratigraphy, volcanism) and geomorphology (planation surfaces, scarp formation, weathering profiles) as a proxy of vertical movements of the lithosphere in anorogenic domains. The Arabian plateau is a great example of uplift and scarp retreat in relation to rifting processes that led to the opening of the Red Sea. I’m also interested in offshore geomorphology linked to the structure and behavior of the oceanic crust, at the early stage of ocean opening of which the Red Sea is a perfect example.
