I am an Earth scientist interested in understanding the chemical evolution of planets.
Noble Gas Geochemistry: Broad application of the noble gas group, particularly the neutron irradiation noble gas method for halogen analysis (NI-NGMS), and the Ar-Ar dating technique, to geo – and cosmo – chemical problems.
Volatiles in Magmas: Understanding the behavior of volatile elements, with an emphasis on the halogens, and their importance to magma evolution and tracking degassing in volcanic environments.
Experimental Petrology: Use of experimental techniques to gain qualitative information about the solubility, diffusion and partitioning of volatiles in/between crustal and mantle mineral phases to link with natural systems.
