Our research integrates field observations, petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology to investigate the formation and evolution of orogenic belts. By shedding light on the mechanisms that drive metamorphism and deformation in orogenic belts, we aim to contribute to our understanding of the fundamental processes that shaped the Earth's continental crust.
