A quantitative classification tool for porphyry Cu alteration systems
(2023-11-28) - ThesisPorphyry copper deposits form from upper crustal H₂O saturated magmatic systems, along ancient and active convergent margins. As the world’s major source of copper, gold and molybdenum, along with minor quantities of other ... -
A thermodynamic modelling approach to predict the outcome of carbonaceous fluid metasomatism on Earth and Mars
(2023-11-28) - ThesisThe carbon flux between the atmosphere and the geosphere is linked by a broad range of geodynamic and magmatic processes which govern the deep carbon cycles on all telluric planets, asteroids, and moons. On Earth, carbon ... -
New investigations of monsoon depressions using observational data, theory and numerical experiments
(2023-11-28) - ThesisMonsoon depressions (MDs) are synoptic-scale storms that exist embedded within the planetary-scale summer monsoon circulation. Their structure and propagation is distinct to other tropical and sub-tropical systems. The ... -
The nature of fluids associated with the subvolcanic alkaline magmas and their role in 'hi-tech' metal transport and mineralization
(2023-06-16) - ThesisAlkaline igneous rocks host many High Field Strength (HFSE) and Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits, which are key for the global low-carbon energy transition. To better target these, a better understanding of alteration ... -
Fire and ice : understanding volcanic histories from sulfur isotopes in ice cores
(2023-06-16) - ThesisReconstructing the history of explosive volcanic eruptions is important for understanding the frequency of eruptions and the climatic forcing of these events. Erupted volcanic SO₂ is oxidised to sulfate aerosols which ...
