Page: 4 Dr. Dan Gibson – Curriculum Vitae Associate Professor Department of Earth Sciences 25/09/14 RESEARCH My research interests include working on understanding orogenic processes and tectonic problems within collisional mountain belts that can be solved with a combination of field mapping, structural geology, thermochronology and petrology studies. The goal of this research is to elucidate tectonic processes associated with collisional and accretionary orogens, with a particular emphasis focused on the complex and protracted development of the Canadian Cordillera.
