MAIN RESEARCH
DIRECTIONS
tectonics - geodynamics - numerical modelling – rheology –
mechanics of the lithosphere - physics of geological processes
•
Mechanics and rheological behavior of the continental lithosphere, in
particular the relations between the long-term equivalent elastic thickness
(lithospheric flexure), long- and short-time scale rheology, seismicity and
thickness of the seismogenic layer.
•
Development of the multi-physical thermo-mechanical numerical models (coupling
with surface processes, fluids, and thermodynamics) those permit to take into
account the rheological complexity of the continental lithosphere.
•
Mechanisms of continental collision and extension, rifting and basin evolution.
•
Localization of deformation and the part of inhomogeneities,
fluids, faults, shear zones and realistic brittle-plastic-elastic rheology (in
lithospheric-scale deformation).
•
Interactions mantle – continental lithosphere, dynamic topography, interactions
between surface and tectonic processes at regional scale
SHORT SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH CAREER
Physicist
by training (graduated in 1986 from Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology
(Fiztech,
MIPT/MFTI), I have defended
my PhD degree in physics and applied mathematics (1990, MSc project at Institute of Control Sciences RAS) at Moscow Schmidt Institute of Physics
of the Earth RAS (IFZ) where I worked as research assistant and later as
researcher. After a post-doctoral study at
Leeds University (UK,1991), and 4
years of post-doc, invited fellow and assistant lecturer at the Institute of Physics of the Earth of Paris
(IPGP,1992-1996), I have been hired by French Geological Service (BRGM,1996).
At the age of 35 I have become a Full Professor at the Institute of Earth
Sciences of Paris (ISTEP), which
belongs to the University of Pierre and Marie
Curie in Paris (1999). I have taken different responsibilities, mainly as a
head of research groups, member of scientific and administrative committees,
associated editor of peer review journals. In 2009 I was elected member of
European Academy of Sciences (Academia Europea). Since my employment at the
UPMC I have advised more than twelve PhD students most of whom have found
positions in academics and industrial research. I have published about 100
publications in peer review journals (2/3) as first author, cited around 4000
times (H-factor ~ 37). I have
obtained, in Co-PI with L. Jolivet, an Advanced ERC Grant of the European Research Council
(RHEOLITH Project, 2011-2017). In 2015 I have been awarded Stephan Mueller
Medal of the European Geosiences Union.
