Ymchwil

I am interested in deformation processes in the Earth at all scales, especially in the upper crust, and their relation to the formation of hydrothermal mineral deposits.

Fracturing, fluid flow, and brecciation are critical in these environments. I am also interested in the relationship between tectonics and surface processes in rifts and continental interiors. In many of these topics, techniques based on fractal geometry are important tools.

Addysgu

Rwy'n addysgu daeareg strwythurol ar lefelau ail, y drydedd a'r bedwaredd flwyddyn. Gwaith maes ac addysgu yn y maes yw'r ffordd orau o addysgu'r pwnc hwn, fel y dangosir gan adborth gan genedlaethau o fyfyrwyr. Mae fy nosbarthiadau yn mynd i arfordir de Cymru, i Arran ac i Ogledd Sbaen.

Mae potensial dronau i ddarparu safbwyntiau rhagorol yn y maes yn amlwg, yn ogystal â chreu llawer o ddiddordeb o safbwynt addysgu.

Mae strwythurau mesur mewn craidd dril yn sgil hanfodol yn y diwydiant archwilio: rwy'n datblygu rhai deunyddiau addysgu ar gyfer y sgil hon.
