Veleda Muller

Born as metamorphic-igneous petrologist and structural geologist, I have now bridged to the interactions between Tectonics and Climate to understand mountain building.

I currently perform Geodynamic numerical models and geo-thermochronology to study orogeny and landscape dynamics.

I applied these methods to study a broad range of topics such as: formation and exhumation of accretionary wedges, fold-and-thrust belts and foreland basins, subduction and mantle dynamics forcing rock uplift and exhumation, glacial-fluvial erosion control on the topography, and glacial isostatic adjustment. Recently, I've been interested in Biogeosciences and the topographic control on biodiversity.

My research is focused in the Patagonian, Southern and Central Andes, and I aim to study diverse mountain belts of the world linking classic and modern Geosciences. Moreinfo about my research can be found at https://veledamuller.wixsite.com/veledamuller.

In my free time I do activities related to adventure climbing and mountaineering, and you can find my content in the blog:https://veledamuller.blogspot.com/
