Hans Avé Lallemant

[1] Avé Lallemant then moved to the United States where he was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University for three years.

[2] In the 1970s, he experimentally constrained the high temperature rheology of olivine-rich rocks, with implications for mantle flow.

[3] He was an expert on transpressional and transtensional tectonics in the North American Cordillera and in the Caribbean.

[4] Based on field observations, he proposed a model for the exhumation of high pressure rocks in subduction zones through transtension.

[5] Avé Lallemant became a corresponding member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987.
