Professor Alan Collins is a tectonic geologist who is interested in how the deep earth evolution of the planet has controlled and governed earth surface systems (atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere). He has a BSc (Hons.) degree from the Royal School of Mines, Imperial College, The University of London (1993), and PhD from The University of Edinburgh (1997), that examined the tectonics of SW Turkey. This work identified multiple stages of thrust-sheet movement, foreland basin formation and subsequent consumption in the ophiolite-bearing Lycian nappes along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast of Turkey. After completing this, Alan went down in the crust and back in time to work on the Ediacaran-Cambrian amalgamation of Gondwana, working initially in Madagascar, and later in East Africa, India, Western Australia and East Antarctica. Using tectono-stratigraphic techniques, he has helped unravel much of the East African Orogen to produce a model for the collision of Neoproterozoic India with the central Africa. This work began in Leicester University, UK, and continued in the Tectonics Special Research Centre in Curtin University and The University of Western Australia.

Prof. Collins commenced at The University of Adelaide as a Senior Lecturer in 2005 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009 and Professor in 2014. His on-going research directs various aspects of geoscience, including palaeomagnetism, structural geology, geochronology and sedimentology to answer geologically significant questions. He was awarded an Australian Research Council 'Future Fellowship' in 2012.

Alan Collins leads the Tectonics and Earth Systems Group (TES) in Adelaide and is always interested in talking to potential students and post docs who share his vision of building a collaborative and supportive environment to learn about this wonderful planet of ours.

Hi I LOVE plate tectonics. It makes our planet distinct from all the others, controls how heat is lost from the deep earth and controls most of what happens on the Earth surface, from the very shape of the land we walk on and the ocean depths to why we have life, oxygen, and everything.

Here is an animation of how I think plate tectonics has worked over the last billion years - yes, BILLION years - 1,000,000 years. Note the little orange dot is the centre of the universe--otherwise known as Adelaide!

My research, and that of the Tectonics and Earth Systems research team that I lead, deals with plate tectonics in deep time. This may be in understanding how the rocks in some part of the world can be read to reveal the tectonic geography of the time they formed--unraveling past volcanic arcs, continental collisional zones or vast mountain ranges. It may be looking at how the arrangements of plate boundaries and the distribution of the continents and topography/bathymetry controlled nutrient supply to the oceans leading to blooms of bacteria and oxygen oases in a largely anoxic world. The planet is over 4½ billion years old, it is incredible what has happened in this time. The record is preserved in the rocks...

I am a data-focussed geologist whose research focuses on applying a wide range of earth science specialisations to address tectonic questions. I am interested in how plate tectonics controls many earth surface systems and this unique process in terrestrial planets has made our planet habitable for large complex life. Specific projects I am interested in range from tectonic geography problems, like unraveling the formation of Gondwana, investigating the amalgamation and topographic evolution of inland Australia, or investigating the timing of SE Asia accretion, to better understanding a focussed process-based question, such as the fluid nature, timing and physical conditions during detachment fault deformation. Most of my research involves a combination of geochronology/thermochronology with geochemistry and structural geology. Most involves student-focussed projects, significant fieldwork (often international and/or in remote regions), and most projects involve collaboration with a wide-range of specialists based throughout the world.

Anyway - here are a number of articles I've written in the on-line magazine The Conversation, they give a bit of a flavour for the work my team and I do (just click on the images for the stories).
