David Hindle

Dr. David Hindle is a Lecturer at the University of Göttingen's Department of Structural Geology and Geothermics. He holds a PhD from the University of Neuchâtel (1993-1997) and has held academic and industry positions at Shell, GFZ Potsdam, Michigan State University, GEOMAR, and the Universities of Freiburg and Jena before joining Göttingen in 2012.

His research focuses on plate kinematics, intraplate tectonics, lithosphere flexure, and dynamic topography. He combines field data with numerical models to study tectonic processes in regions like the Jura Mountains, Central Andes, Okhotsk Plate, and Central Western Europe.

Recent work includes studies on the Subhercynian Basin's formation, seismicity along the Okhotsk-North America plate boundary, and structural modeling techniques. He emphasizes model simplicity while acknowledging the limitations of all models.
