Significant experience in mapping metamorphic patterns and the spatial variation in metamorphic parameters as well as their evolution with time. Currently employed on the Damara Orogen and Yilgarn Craton Metamorphic Projects to develop a systematic methodology for metamorphic mapping on large scales and the construction of GIS metamorphic databases.
