GRADUATED 2024

Edward was a Ph.D. student researching plate tectonics and geodynamics. His interests were in how and why the earth’s plates have moved through time, and in how surface plate motions link to the deep mantle. During his Ph.D., he used geodynamic models to look at how gravitational potential energy (resulting from high topography in mountain belts) linked to wider mantle convection and plate motion.

Previously, Edward completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Oxford, where for his master’s project he used seismic tomography models and geological evidence to constrain the plate tectonic history of western North America since 170 million years ago.
