My research in the U.S. focuses on the development of the Appalachian Mountains in Alabama and the Cordilleran in Montana, and the rifting of Pangea and evolution of the Gulf of Mexico.
Dr. Delores Robinson uses seismic and well log data as well as provenance studies to determine the evolution of basins and thrust belts through time.
Dr. Delores Robinson studies the evolution of orogenic systems through field mapping, reconstruction of fold-thrust belts, and provenance studies, and she explores the links between structure, sedimentation, and erosion using thermochronology and geochronology.
