Jean-Baptiste Koehl’s research focuses on the impact of orogens on rifting, planetary tectonics, the evolution of life, and the distribution of natural resources and geohazards using reflection seismic, structural fieldwork, geochronology, plate modelling, and machine-learning. He is involved in the GD and TS divisions and EGU’s EDI taskforce.

Beyond ‘black and white’: rethinking continental drift and land bridges through plate tectonics and orogenic bridges

In this essay, Jean-Baptiste Koehl reflects on the origin of a 100-year-old divide within the geoscience community and explores how tectonics and paleontology may be brought closer together through the concept of orogenic bridges. Disclaimer: The reflections presented here reflect my perspective grounded in my own research and experience.   One of the most iconic interdisciplinary achievement ...[Read More]
