RESEARCH INTERESTs

Dr Boone's research aims to better our understanding of how the Earth has evolved and operates by studying the thermal and tectonic history of the crust in relation to the growth and breakup of continents, and the long-term evolution of landscapes. To do this, he integrates field observations and structural geology with thermochronology, geochronology, geochemistry and numerical Earth system modelling techniques. Sam's research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Understanding Our Planet, Climate and Environmental Change, Critical Minerals and Materials, Net Zero Technologies, Data and Decisions.
