About the research
How does large-scale mass transfer occur between deep and shallow regions of the mantle during rifting and plume-related events?
Read the full research overview
Research in East Africa, Turkey and Saudi Arabia explores geochemical consequences of lithospheric delamination associated with slab rollback and breakoff. Research throughout the East African Rift System evaluates continental break-up and initiation of oceanic rift segmentation using structural and geochemical evidence. The group combines field work, geochemical analysis and microanalysis of mineral textures and compositions to determine thermal, chemical and physical properties of eruptive systems. Ongoing projects include deciphering lithospheric metasomatic history beneath the African Western Rift and the origin of large basalt flows in Iceland.
