Whipp David

Professor of Geodynamic Modelling

Description

I am a geodynamicist with broad interests in how mountain systems evolve in space and time. I combine field and laboratory data, such as low-temperature thermochronology, with 3D thermo-kinematic and thermo-mechanical numerical models to study actively growing mountains.
