Biography
Professor at Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences,Macquarie University.
Research Interest
I am a trained petrologist and high-pressure experimentalist and later branched out into high-temperature geochemistry and microanalysis of minerals. My research is centred on (i) the formation of melts in the mantle, particularly melts of minor rock constituents of the mantle, (ii) petrological processes during the first half of Earth history, and (iii) the evolution of geological processes through time and the resulting re-distribution of elements in the mantle and crust. Methods include experimental petrology and microanalysis of major and trace elements. Field areas have included Finland, Uganda, Labrador, South Africa, Siberia and Spain.
