KEY RESEARCH THEMES 2000-2021 The main focus of my research over the last 25 years or so, has been to gain an understanding of the time scales, sediment delivery mechanisms, sediment budget partitioning and growth styles of shelves and shelf margins of deepwater basins. In addition, my interests in Sedimentation and ...
