TitlePhD Project - Process driven understanding of LCT pegmatite systems
SupervisorProf Tony Kemp
Research areaEarth Sciences
Project description

This PhD project explores chemical and isotopic signatures in minerals and their inclusions to understand the conditions of rare metal pegmatite generation and emplacement. It also involves applying new techniques to determine the controls on variable lithium mineralogy and endowment in pegmatites, to establish chemical fertility indices in minerals, and to document the alteration footprints of rare metal pegmatite systems.
