Research interest: Metamorphic fluid fluxes during formation of orogenies

My PhD research examines metamorphic fluid flow in the SW Scottish Highlands, integrating field mapping, petrography, geochemistry, and numerical modelling to quantify fluid fluxes and element transport. The study focuses on how mineralogical, structural anisotropies and deformation influence reaction fronts in metabasaltic sills, with implications for CO₂ release and the enrichment of economically important metals during regional metamorphism.
