We are focusing on a multidisciplinary studies on the Ethiopian Plateau, primarily thermochronology, quantitative geomorphology, paleoaltimetry, geochronology, and structural geology. As the plateau has been experiencing uplift, continental rifting and landscape evolution due to tectonic perturberance, it is a perfect laboratory to study geodynamic implications for landscape evolution, climate change, and human evolution.
