Fred Richards

Fred is an Imperial College Research Fellow. He is interested in understanding the surface expression of deep Earth dynamics and structure. His past research has focused on constraining and modelling the impacts of mantle convection on surface elevations and landscape evolution, while his current work aims to integrate geological and geophysical observations with numerical models to better constrain dynamic topography and glacial isostatic adjustment.

Geodynamics 101: Dynamic Topography

The Geodynamics 101 series serves to showcase the diversity of research topics and/or methods in the geodynamics community. In this week’s post, Fred Richards explains how ‘Dynamic Topography’ is used in the Geosciences, and discusses the knowns, unknowns, and the challenges ahead.  Since shortly after its tumultuous formation 4.5 billion years ago, Earth has been steadily cooling, wit ...[Read More]
