Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection

João C. Duarte works in tectonics, geodynamics, and marine geology. He is an auxiliar professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon and a researcher at IDL, where he coordinates the research group on Continental Margins and the Deep Ocean Frontier. João has published more than 40 papers and has several edited works, including two Elsevier books entitled Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones and A Journey Through Tides, an Elsevier special volume in the Journal of Geodynamics on the “200 years of geodynamic modelling”, and an AGU monograph entitled Plate Boundaries and Natural Hazards. He was awarded the Dis_x0002_covery Early Career Researcher Award from the Australian Research Council in 2015. In 2017, he was awarded the Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists of the European Geosciences Union. He is a member of the editorial board of Communications Earth & Environment and a Fellow of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. João is passionate about science communication, and he regu_x0002_larly collaborates with science magazines and the media.
