Isotope geochemistry of the deep mantle
Research Interests
- ▸ Non-traditional stable isotopes (Se, Fe, Cr, Zn) in high-temperature rocks to trace mantle processes
- ▸ Se-Te systematics and Se isotopes in mantle xenoliths from subduction zones (Patagonia) to identify mantle sources and crust-mantle transport mechanisms
- ▸ Volatile and chalcophile element composition of Earth's mantle using non-traditional stable isotopes
- ▸ Petrology and geochemistry of ultramafic mantle rocks (peridotites and pyroxenites) and associated crustal rocks
- ▸ Isotopic mixing models to identify potential sources of mantle isotopic signatures
