Research

"My research focuses on experimental studies related to the behaviour of trace elements during igneous and hydrothermal processes."

Current areas of study investigated  by his research group, ,  include:

  1.  the role of chromite and olivine in fractionating Re and platinum group elements in mafic igneous systems
  2. diffusion of Re, Os and Pt in sulfides and oxides with implications for 鈥渃losure鈥 of the Re-Os and Pt-Os isotopic systems
  3. constraints on Earth differentiation from siderophile element geochemistry
  4. behaviour of siderophile and chalcophile elements during the solidification of massive sulfide ore
  5. partitioning of redox-sensitive elements in mineral-melt systems
  6. fluid/mineral partitioning with application to the origin of subduction zone magmas.
