DR WAYNE BAILEY

Dr Wayne Bailey Wayne is a former member of our group, from 1997 to 2002, who worked on a range of projects involving the analysis of fault geometry and growth from 3-D seismic data and the analysis of faults and fault zones from outcrop and coalmine data. Wayne is now Principal Structural Geologist with Woodside Energy, Perth. We continue to collaborate with Wayne on group-related related research and publications.

EMAIL:Wayne



DR CHRIS BONSON

Dr Chris Bonson A former member of our group, from 1998 to 2005, Chris is a Senior Structural Geologist with SRK Consulting (Cardiff), an international consulting practise specialising in services to the mining industry. Chris worked on a variety of projects mainly related to the structure and evolution of mineral deposits, and Irish Zn-Pb deposits in particular, and we continue to collaborate with Chris on related research and publications.

DR GIOVANNI CAMANNI

Giovanni Giovanni joined FAG as a post-doctoral researcher in June 2015 working mainly on the analysis of fault zones from outcrop and seismic data in the context of our multi-company funded QUAFF2 project. He returned to Italy at the end of the project in December 2018, and we continue to collaborate on papers emanating from the research.


DR MARC GIBA

Dr Marc Giba Marc conducted a PhD within our group between 2006 and 2010 on the structure and tectonics of the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. Having been a structural geologist in Total Geoscience Research Centre, Aberdeen, until 2013, he joined RWE Dea as Senior Geoscientist. We continue to collaborate with him on fault-related research, including the publication of papers arising from his PhD studies.

DR ANDY HEATH

Dr Andy Heath Andy joined our group in 1991 when we were based in the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at University of Liverpool. He soon became our computing guru, working on a variety of projects related to 3-D geological modelling and modelling the impact of faults on fluid flow. When the group relocated to Dublin in 2000, Andy remained in Liverpool but continued to work on projects with the group, in particular on the development of TransGen; software written by Andy which applies our methods for including single and two-phase fault rock properties, and sub-resolution fault zone structure, in flow simulation models. Andy continues to collaborate with us as an independent consultant.

DR EOGHAN HOLOHAN

Eoghan Eoghan was a member of our group from 2007 until late 2012 working on the analysis and discrete element modelling of caldera subsidence and related faulting. Since he started a postion as Research Scientist at GFZ Potsdam, we have continued to collaborate on a selection of projects and papers.

DR JONATHAN IMBER

Dr Jonny Imber A former member of our group, from 1998 to 2001, Jonny is now a Senior Lecturer at Durham University and a member of the Reactivation Research Group. Jonny performed much of our distinct element modelling work on a project on fault relays and continues to collaborate with the group on related research and publications.

DR MD SAIFUL ISLAM

Saiful Islam Saiful joined FAG in 2011 on an ExxonMobil-funded PhD project on flow-based geometrical upscaling for fault zone structure. Upon completion of his PhD in 2015, he took on a research position in the College of Engineering, Dhofar University, Oman, and we continue to undertake collaborative research of fault-related aspects of flow simulation modelling.


DR VASSO MOUSLOPOULOU

Dr Vasso Mouslopoulou A former member of our group from 2006 to 2008, Vasso is now a research Scientist at GFZ Potsdam. We continue to work with Vasso on a variety of research topics mainly related to earthquake behaviour and fault growth, particularly for fault systems in New Zealand.

EMAIL:Vasso



PROF ANDY NICOL

Dr Andy Nicol A former member of our group from 1993 to 1995, Andy was based at GNS Science in Wellington until 2014, but recently accepted a Professorship at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. Andy is a UCD Adjunct Associate Professor, visiting our group on a regular basis and continuing to conduct collaborative research with the group on the geometry and growth of faults. We have had a number of formal projects with Andy on a range of issues, from faults within turbidites of the Taranaki Basin, through to the growth and earthquake behaviour of active faults in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Andy is a partner on two of our projects, one involving the analysis and modelling of faults from outcrop (Quaff2) and the other involving the structural evolution of the South Taranaki Basin.
