Dr. Marco Maffione is an Associate Professor in Earth Sciences at the University of Birmingham's School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. He specializes in global tectonics, focusing on plate boundary processes such as subduction initiation, ocean spreading, and deformation of mountain belts. His research utilizes paleomagnetism, structural geology, and magnetostratigraphy to reconstruct tectonic histories. He co-manages the PUMA paleomagnetic laboratory and has participated in IODP expeditions (Exp. 351 and 381) studying subduction and rift dynamics. His education includes a BSc+MSc from University of Roma Tre and a PhD in Geophysics from University of Bologna.
Research interests include ophiolite formation, subduction mechanisms, and tectonic reconstructions across regions like Turkey, Oman, and Tibet. Teaching covers structural geology, tectonics, and field skills. Recent publications (2024-2017) highlight studies on magnetic fabrics, subduction initiation, and rift basin evolution. No awards are explicitly listed, though his work reflects significant contributions to tectonic science.
Advising and grants are not detailed here, but his lab management and international collaborations indicate active engagement in academic leadership and research networks.
