Garnet chronology

Picture
Garnet chronology enables dating of the most important petrological indicator mineral in the lithosphere. We perform garnet Lu-Hf chronology as part of the PCIGR analytical infrastructure. The method is available on request
​(e-mail).

Subduction processes

Picture
High-pressure rocks record deformation, fluid flow and mineral reactions in subducted plates. We employ optical (SEM), chemical (EPMA, ICPMS) and isotope analyses (MC-ICPMS, TIMS) to investigate these processes.​

The early lithosphere

Picture
How did the early continental crust and mantle form, and what were its tectonics? We study these topics by subjecting ancient rocks from the world over to in-situ U-Pb chronology (LA-ICPMS), isotope analysis (LA-MC-ICPMS, SIMS).

Tectono-metamorphism

Picture
The evolution of continents and collisional orogens is written in rocks exhumed or erupted from the deep crust. To uncover the history of these rocks, we use multi-method chronology, micro-structural analysis, and metamorphic petrology.
