My last
research project used experimental petrology to generate partial melts
of crustal lithologies to simulate crustal anatexis in a magmatic
environment. I used state-of-the-art in-situ microanalyses (Pb and Sr
isotopes, major and trace elements) to characterise these melts, with
the aim of quantifying magma-crust interaction. This project was funded by the Faroese Petrolem Directorate, SINDRI, in collaboration with the University of Uppsala, Sweden.
Other recent research projects have focussed on magmatic processes, including magma-crust interaction and magma mixing phenomena - employing whole-rock and micro-scale (crystal-zone) radiogenic isotope techniques and major and trace element data to trace petrologic processes. |
