Andrew Carter

Andrew Carter is a Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences at University College London, specializing in thermochronometry and tectonic geomorphology. His research focuses on crustal evolution through exhumation processes, particularly in the India-Asia collision zone, and examines erosion-climate feedback mechanisms over geological timescales.

Research spans tectonic geomorphology, global tectonics, and sedimentary record analysis to understand climate-continental crust interactions. Recent publications explore:

• 2025: Tethyan-Paleo-Pacific subduction dynamics in Southeast Asia
• 2025: Borneo sediment provenance and paleogeographic patterns
• 2025: Andaman Sea volcanic rock geochemistry
• 2024: West Antarctic ice stream sedimentology
• 2024: Tibetan exhumation history

Methodologies include detrital zircon U-Pb dating, low-temperature thermochronometry, and sedimentary basin analysis. Collaborations with institutions across Antarctica, Southeast Asia, and the Aegean demonstrate his international research network.
