Z Maleki

Structural Geoscientist with over 20 years of academic and applied research experience in tectonic systems, basin evolution, and integrated Earth system analysis across surface and subsurface domains. Author of 40+ peer-reviewed international publications in structural geology, geohazards, and subsurface resource systems. Expertise focuses on the analysis and interpretation of structural elements and tectonic processes, with emphasis on how these control Earth system architecture, structural complexity, and system evolution across multiple spatial scales.

Research approach is centered on developing predictive understanding of complex geological systems through integrated surface–subsurface frameworks, combining field observations, analogue modeling, and subsurface datasets.
