Jeremie Lehmann graduated with a PhD from the University of Strasbourg in France. He has worked as a researcher at the Czech Geological Survey and the University of the Witwatersrand. He currently lectures structural geology and tectonics at the University of Johannesburg. His main research interests and expertise revolve around the thermal and mechanical evolution of Archaean, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic orogenic belts. His research combines field structural analysis with remote sensing and microstructural and petrochronological data to decipher the tectonic evolution of deeply eroded mountain belts.

Current projects

• Thermal and structural relations between magmas and host rocks in the ductile crust of orogenic belts
• Pan-African geodynamics and the mechanisms of Gondwana assembly
• Origin and tectonic settings of Proterozoic massif-type anorthosites and associated orthomagmatic mineral deposits
• Deformation style and tectonomagmatic evolution of the Archean Barberton Greenstone – Granite Belt and associated gold mineralisation
• Modes of crustal growth and continent construction of the SW Congo Craton
