Graduate Students
Thomas Phillips, Ph.D.
(Co-supervisor)
Imperial College London
Current PhD student using 2D and 3D seismic data from the Egersund Basin, Norwegian North Sea to examine the effects of salt tectonics, basement fabrics and multiple rift phases on the evolution of rift basins.
Alexander Coleman, Ph.D.
(Co-supervisor)
Imperial College London
Current PhD student focusing on the influence of salt on fault-propagation folds within extensional rift basins, utilising a combination of 3D seismic, well data and quantitative field work.
Antje Lenhart, Ph.D.
(Co-supervisor)
Imperial College London
Current PhD student using seismic, gravity and magnetic data from Offshore Norway to examine the role of pre-existing basement fabrics in the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of rift basins.
