Pauline is a doctoral researcher working in GFZ Potsdam, Germany. She is working on the development of new techniques to map and characterise the fault networks in continental rifts allowing a better global understanding of regional dynamics. She likes to study motion in general (of plates, of faults, etc.) using different approaches such as analogue modelling, satellite imagery.

From Mountains to Oceans: How the memory of ancient orogens guides the rupture of continents

In this new blog, Dr. Kai Li (GFZ Potsdam) talk about his PhD work, where he used accordion numerical models to explore the tectonic history of the South China Sea. His PhD research focuses on the impact of orogenic inheritance on rifts and rifted margins, employing advanced geodynamic modeling techniques. Have you ever tried to fit the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America toge ...[Read More]
