Iván Navarrete is pursuing his PhD within the Laboratoire de Géologie at the École normale supérieure - PSL, under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Arthur Olive and Prof. Eric Calais. After earning a degree in Mathematical Civil Engineering from the Universidad de Concepción, Chile, he joined the doctoral network TALENTS to conduct research on the mechanical and thermal evolution of the lithosphere during early continental rifting. His work combines geophysical observations, numerical modeling, analytical solutions, and data-driven techniques to investigate the interplay between tectonics, magmatism, and lithospheric rheology. This research aims to improve the understanding of the physical processes controlling the initiation and evolution of continental rifts and to advance quantitative methods for lithospheric deformation analysis.
