Redox Cycling of Iron and Sulfur and the Consequences for Arsenic and Antimony Mobility in Acid Sulfate Soil Wetlands »
Understanding a complex interplay between hydrology, redox conditions and Fe mineralogy on contaminant fate and general water quality in acid sulfate soil (ASS) wetlands
What makes volcanoes erupt? Insights from petrology »
A survey of the erupted volume, composition, style and initiation timescale (the time between initiation in the subsurface and eventual eruption) for over 70 eruptions at 40 volcanoes worldwide.
(1) Crust-mantle interaction: reactive melt ascent through the lower arc crust (2) Detrimental effects of coupled dissolution-precipitation on...
Two talks on (1) melt transfer in the lower crust and (2) reasons for complex geochronology based on U-Pb data for zircon and monazite grains
The evolution of the North West Shelf »
Understanding the mechanism driving the complex evolution of the North West Shelf of Australia is particularly complex which has experienced a series of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rift events, many of which are associated with the separation of micro-continental fragments.
The Neogene evolution of the Murray Basin – a unique continental archive of tectonic, climatic and geomorphic change »
Sedimentary rocks within the Murray Basin provide insight on the climatic, environmental and geomorphic evolution, including regional-scale tectonics, drainage reorganisation and the onset of now-characteristic arid climatic conditions at Murray Basin
TerraneChron®: Past, Present, Future »
TerraneChron® approach integrates in-situ microanalysis of the U-Pb age, Hf-isotope and trace-element compositions of zircons from modern drainages, ancient sediments and targeted igneous rocks, with direct applications for cost-effective routine exploration
The European Alps and Plate Tectonics : A rocky relationship »
Although the Alps are typically used as a “fossil” convergent margin akin to modern oceanic subduction zones, we will explore the geological record which suggests instead that the Alps might be better understood in terms of continental tectonics, namely extreme intracontinental extension, ultra-slow plate separation and compression of hyper-extended continental domains and we will discuss possible consequences.
Craton Stability: What’s Thickness (and shape) Got To Do With It. »
I will summarize the connections between craton thickness and (in)stability, the limits on craton thickness, and the consequences of long-lived, thick lithosphere.
230Th/U burial dating of ostrich eggshell, a new chronometer for Pleistocene terrestrial strata »
Measuring eggshells to constrain age for Middle-Late Pleistocene paleoanthropological sites beyond the ~50 ka 14C limit
