Fields of study
- Igneous geochemistry
- High temperature ‘non-traditional’ stable isotope geochemistry
- Experimental petrology
Research Interests
My current research focuses on using a combination of ‘non-traditional’ stable isotope geochemistry in natural samples and experimental petrology to better understand the mechanisms of mass-dependent isotope fractionation in high temperature environments. Such data can be applied to investigate various processes that operate from the mantle to the crust, such as mantle melting, magmatic differentiation, and continental crust formation. Current projects include:
- Experimental calibration of mineral-melt trace element and isotope fractionation at high T/P
- Non-traditional stable isotopes as tools to investigate crust formation in both the Archean and modern-day geodynamic regimes
- High-T stable isotope fractionation related to subduction zone processes
