Key research:

Geomorphology-Process Sedimentology: mechanics of geomorphological processes; sedimentology of alluvial and eolian depositional environments; geomechanics of rock and soil materials and hillslope mass failures; geomorphology and morphotectonics of active orogens.

Quaternary Geology: alluvial chronology, sedimentology and paleohydrology; sea level history; paleoseismicity and neotectonics of western Australia; stratigraphy of foreland basins of the northern margins of the Tibetan Plateau.

Paleoclimatology: climatic history and mechanisms of climatic change; dynamic climatology of Quaternary climate events with an emphasis on Atmosphere Ocean General Circulation Model (AOGCM) approaches. Monsoon paleoclimatology – northern Australia-East, Asia-South Asia.
