FERNANDES

I study how glaciers, rivers, and deep Earth processes reshape continental surfaces over millions of years.

What I do

Climate rhythms, rivers, and moving crust.

Research directions
Teaching topics
Open to take students

I combine field mapping, cosmogenic nuclides, low-temperature thermochronology, and landscape evolution modelling to decode how glacial cycles and deep Earth forces drive incision and sediment routing from mountains to basins.

Theme

Glacial–fluvial terraces

Reading rivers as climate archives.

Terraces in Patagonia and beyond record switches between glacial advance, meltwater pulses, and incision.

Theme

Dynamic topography & uplift

Slow vertical motions, big landscape consequences.

I link long-wavelength mantle-driven uplift to changing river profiles and basin stratigraphy.
