About Robyn Ormond
Project title:
Pressure-temperature-time-deformation (P-T-t-d) constraints on the mechanisms of dome formation in the southern Central Zone of the Damara Belt, Namibia. A bit more: Combining field-based structural geology with thermodynamic modelling and geochronology to unravel the tectonometamorphic evolution of the Namibfontein-Vergenoeg Dome, with broader implications for that of the Central Zone of the Pan African Damara Orogen.
Supervisors:
Prof. Jérémie Lehmann (UJ), Prof. Marlina Elburg (UJ), Dr Pavlína Hasalová (Czech Geological Survey)
Research interests:
Structural geology (field-based), geochronology, thermodynamic modelling, tectonics, orogenesis, remote sensing
