Fields of interest:
Isotope geochemistry (Pb, Sr, Nd, Hf, B isotopes), submarine geology (mid-ocean ridge system), convergent margin processes, paleoclimate
1. Use major, trace elements and Pb-Sr-Nd-Hf-B isotope tracers to evaluate source and processes that control terrestrial magmatism
2. Application of isotope tracers in the reconstruction of past climate and ocean circulation.
3. Geochronology using Ar-Ar, Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf isotope systems and Sr isotope stratigraphy.
