Biography

Laurent Godin specializes in structural geology and continental tectonics, with a particular focus on the evolution of orogenic belts, particularly the Himalayan-Tibet region. His research interests include the application of centrifuge analogue modeling and U-Th/Pb petrochronology for thermochronology in continental tectonics. In addition to mountain belt research, he is involved in projects that focus on seismicity and stress partitioning in continental interiors, basement fault reactivation, and investigations into Early Archean geology. He has served as a member of the NSERC Discovery Grant Committee and co-chaired the Scientific Editorial Board of Lithosphere from 2017 to 2020. He supervises graduate students in research on topics such as the reactivation of basement structures during orogenesis and numerical stress modeling of Himalayan seismicity. He actively seeks motivated and qualified students for MSc and PhD programs in these fields.
