My Master research is on the tectonic and kinematic development of the Mont Tendre folds and thrusts in the High Chain of the Central Jura fold-and-thrust belt of Switzerland and France. The objective  is to use a forward modelling approach based on 2D viable sections to create a kinematically sound NW-SE oriented 2D section. Special attention will be given to location and geometry of top basement and multiple detachment levels. Fieldwork will allow me to densify surface data to better constrain my modelling. Available seismic data will allow me to implement subsurface information into the model.
