Areas of expertise:

Metamorphic petrologist with a strong background in P-T modelling and tying this with in situ geochronology (often referred to as petrochronology).

Petrochronology has significant potential for determining the history of multiply deformed terrains. 

These methods could also be extremely useful in tying ages and metamorphic conditions to mineralisation. Potentially making it easier to target similar deposits.

 

Projects and publications:

Insights into the tectonic evolution of the Svecofennian orogeny based on in situ Lu–Hf dating of garnet and apatite from Olkiluoto, southwestern Finland

First in situ Lu–Hf garnet date for a lithium–caesium–tantalum (LCT) pegmatite from the Kietyönmäki Li deposit, Somero–Tammela pegmatite region, SW Finland

Garnet the gift that keeps on giving

In situ Pb–Pb garnet geochronology as a tool for investigating polymetamorphism: a case for Paleoarchean lateral tectonic thickening

Current applications using key mineral phases in igneous and metamorphic geology; perspectives for the future
