Professor Nicky White specializes in Geophysics and Geodynamics, focusing on Tectonics and Vertical Motions. His work investigates the convective currents in the Earth's mantle and their driving role in plate motion. Despite advances, understanding the spatial-temporal evolution of these currents remains underdeveloped. He explores the Earth's stratigraphic record as a rich source of data regarding convective upwelling and downwelling, which produce measurable vertical displacements at the surface, affecting drainage patterns and sediment redistribution. His current research emphasizes the geological features of Africa and their relationship with convective patterns. Ongoing projects include joint inverse modeling of uplift and denudation on continental margins and quantifying thermal risks associated with deep-water environments. He is also heavily involved in work that aligns with the hydrocarbon industry's needs.
