My research focuses on metamorphic petrology integrated with detailed field geology to reconstruct the tectonothermal evolution of orogenic belts. I combine this approach with zircon geochronology and monazite petrochronology which provide a better constraint on the time-scale of metamorphism, magmatism, and associated deformation events in the mid- to lower-crustal levels that shaped the ancient orogenies. Excepting this, my work also involves characterization of deep-crustal fluids and its role in the element mobility through the field and the textural observation. I integrate all the aforesaid aspects to constrain orogenic evolution within the pressure-temperature-time-deformation-fluid evolution (P-T-t-D-fluid) framework.
