Émilien OLIOT

Émilien OLIOT is a Teacher-Researcher affiliated with a research team focused on low to high-grade metamorphic rocks and lithospheric rheology. His work spans orogenic cycles, ductile shear zones, and thermodynamic modeling, employing advanced tools like field mapping, EBSD, and Perple_X. He has supervised numerous PhD and Master’s theses while co-hosting structural geology initiatives.

• Primary research areas: Metamorphic Petrology, Deformation Mechanisms, Thermochronology
• Key tools: EBSD, Perple_X, U-Pb/40Ar/39Ar Geochronology
• Fieldwork locations: Alps, Variscan Belt, Tianshan, Eastern Tibet, Oman Ophiolite

Scientific contributions: 15 most recent articles cover deformation-metamorphism interplay, ductile shear zones, and critical metal mobility, with keywords in Geology, Geochemistry, and Tectonics. Publications emphasize strain localization, metasomatism, and thermodynamic modeling in orogenic systems.

Teaching activities: Courses in structural geology, metamorphism, and field cartography at all levels (License 1-3, Master 1-2). Coordinated 2nd-year Earth Water Environment degree programs.

Student supervision: Mentored 3 PhD theses (Maitre A., Allard M., Cugerone A.), 11 Master 2 theses, and 6 Master 1 projects, focusing on topics like subduction zone deformation, Pb-Zn mineralization, and fluid-rock interactions in shear zones.

Labs/teams: Leads the Coat and Interfaces Team and contributes to the Structures and Rheology theme. Collaborates with international institutions on Alpine and Variscan belt studies.
