His work spans seismology, mantle dynamics, and lithospheric evolution, with notable contributions to understanding mantle flow patterns, subduction zone volcanism, and cratonic stability through advanced tomographic techniques. Recent projects highlight Antarctic geodynamics, Patagonian slab interactions, and glacial isostatic adjustment.
