Volcanic stratigraphy of mineralised Precambrian terranes
This research examines the geological evolution of mineralised terranes, with a particular focus on the stratigraphic, volcanic, and tectonic controls on mineralisation. By reconstructing the geological history of mineral systems, I seek to improve exploration models.These projects are done in collaboration with industry partners and supported through industry-sponsored projects, providing opportunities to address both fundamental scientific questions and applied exploration challenges.

Exploding shallow marine volcanoes: investigating the petrology of the 2019 pumice raft-producing eruption from Volcano 0403-091, Tonga
More than 21,000 km of submarine volcanoes front subduction zones, many of which lie in shallow water close to inhabited areas. Eruptions at these volcanoes can be explosive and may have significant impacts on nearby communities, or generate pumice rafts that prolong impact at remote locations. For the first time, samples of a shallow marine explosive eruption have been collected from the buoyant pumice raft and from the seafloor at the vent of Volcano 0403-091, Tonga.
