Layered Intrusions
Rock microstructure
Crystal mush solidification
Magma chamber processes

My research is focused on understanding the texture development and synmagmatic deformation in layered intrusions. I am currently working on the Skaergaard layered intrusion, Greenland and the Bushveld Complex, South Africa. My research relies on both microstructural quantitative analyses (e.g. EBSD) and mineral chemistry.
