Research
Current MSc Research:
Investigating the petrochemistry of Fe-Ti oxide minerals from Alaskan-type ultramafic-mafic intrusions in British Columbia and the Skaergaard layered intrusion in East Greenland
Utilizing geochemical techniques to understand the role of magnetite crystallization during the magmatic processes which lead to the formation of open- and closed-system layered intrusions
