Manuel Sintubin

Overview

Manuel Sintubin is affiliated with KU Leuven in Belgium and specializes in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on subfields such as Geophysics, Earth-Surface Processes, and Mechanics of Materials. Their research spans several topics including earthquake and tectonic studies, geological and geochemical analysis, geological and geophysical studies worldwide, building materials and conservation, seismic imaging and inversion techniques, as well as rock mechanics and modeling.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Manuel Sintubin cover a range of geological subjects and have been published in notable venues, particularly the Journal of Structural Geology and the Journal of the Geological Society. These publications include:

  • Fabric and anisotropy of slates: From classical studies to new results (2020, Journal of Structural Geology)
  • Conjugate, Riedel-shear vein arrays: A new type of en echelon vein system (2022, Journal of Structural Geology)
  • Late- to post-Variscan tectonics and the kinematic relationship with W-Sn vein-type mineralization: evidence from Late Carboniferous intramontane basins (Porto-Sátão syncline, Variscan Iberian belt) (2021, Journal of the Geological Society)
  • A new terminology for vein wall-foliation crosscutting relationships (2022, Journal of Structural Geology)

Manuel Sintubin regularly collaborates with several researchers, including Dominique Jacques, Philippe Muchez, H. R. Wenk, Rong Yu, and V. Cárdenes. Among these, Dominique Jacques and Philippe Muchez have co-authored multiple papers with Sintubin.

Their work frequently appears in the Journal of Structural Geology, where three of their recent papers were published, and also in the Journal of the Geological Society.

Manuel Sintubin's academic contributions primarily focus on understanding the structural and tectonic frameworks of geological formations. Their research on seismic imaging techniques, vein systems, and tectonic kinematics contributes to broader knowledge in geophysics and structural geology.
