Mike Daly

Mike Daly is a Visiting Professor in the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on continental tectonics, crustal evolution, and basin formation, with emphasis on resource exploration and geophysical analysis. Current projects include multinational studies of cratonic basins like the Parnaiba Basin in Brazil, the Katangan Basin in Zambia/DRC, and tectonic analysis of Northern England's Carboniferous basins. He leads the UKRI/NERC-funded CuBES project examining copper mineral systems.

Education details are not explicitly listed, but his academic position suggests advanced training in geology and tectonics. Research interests integrate seismic data analysis, basin modeling, and lithospheric evolution studies across Proterozoic to Phanerozoic timeframes. No specific publications are listed here, though his work involves advanced geophysical and geological methodologies.

• Key projects: Cratonic basin dynamics, Central African tectonics, North Sea basin evolution
• Funding: UKRI/NERC (CuBES project)

Advises postgraduate students (names unspecified) and maintains a lab/team focused on continental-scale geodynamic processes. Contact: Earth Sciences Department, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3AN.
