Whodunit? Determining the source and eruptive characteristics of unidentified volcanic eruptions from ice and sediment core archives
(2024-06-13) - ThesisThe most complete records of explosive volcanism from the last 100,000 years are preserved in polar ice cores as deposits of sulfate aerosol and microscopic ash (tephra). These records are essential for reconstructing the ... -
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 ...
