Research Interests

PhD topic: The nature and origin of Barrovian metamorphism

Interests: Tectonics, structural geology, crustal geodynamics, geochronology, thermochronology and metamorphic petrology

Since beginning in 2005 I have completed two field seasons involving structural mapping and sampling in Scotland. I have also carried out a study on major element zoning in Barrovian garnets for the purpose of estimating metamorphic heating durations.

In 2007 work will be carried out on the timing of Barrovian metamorphism in Scotland (U-Pb SHRIMP dating) and the cooling history of the Barrovian series (via Ar-Ar work on micas). A third field season is also a possibility.
