An EconoTimes perspective

Tristan Salles

Senior Lecturer, University of Sydney

Senior Lecturer, University of Sydney My research areas revolve around sediment transfer from source-to-sink, sedimentary systems, geodynamic and landscape evolution, carbonate platforms and ocean dynamics. My main activities consist in the design and implementation of open-source numerical codes that improve our understanding of the complex interactions between sedimentary systems, climatic & tectonic forcing, and the physical processes that erode, transport, and deposit sediments. My current fields of research are: 1. Reading past history from the stratigraphic record - Unraveling basin archives by developing state-of-the-art numerical models of sedimentary systems through space and time. 2. Learning Earth evolution to better prepare for the future - Tackling complex problems using holistic approaches that quantify earth surface processes interactions with both climatic, oceanic and tectonic forces. 3. Enabling cross-disciplinary research by linking data to whole Earth models - Working across temporal and spatial scales fostering new knowledge related to biodiversity, coral reef and ocean hydrodynamic. 4. Designing open-source software for the geoscience community - Promoting reproducible science and open source software by making numerical codes & workflows available for both Industry, Research & Teaching.
