Research Interests
 
PhD Topic:
"The high-temperature formation and modification of ore
deposits"
Supervisors:
John Mavrogenes (Chair), Richard Henley, Richard Arculus and Hugh
O'Neill.
My research interests are quite broad, as I have been
working the geochemistry of layered intrusions, magmatic
sulfide deposits, epithermal gold deposits and volcanoes. I
use in situ stable
isotope geochemistry, trace element geochemistry and
petrography to investigate processes that form sulfide
mineralization and modify igneous and hydrothermal minerals.
Below is a list of projects that I am currently
working on:
- The formation of gold deposits beneath volcanic
vents
-
The opal to quartz transition beneath fossil
fumaroles
-
Trace element geochemistry of silicate minerals in
the Bushveld Complex
-
Diffusion of plagioclase under magmatic conditions
-
The formation of symplectic Cr-spinel in the
Merensky Reef, Bushveld Complex
- The origin of heavy oxygen isotopes in
Klyuchevskoy Volcano
