Research interests and projects
- High-pressure metamorphism and fluid-rock interactions at subduction zones (jadeitite genesis in the serpentinite mélanges of the Rio San Juan Complex, Dominican Republic)
- Current project funded by DFG: “In-situ U-Pb age dating and the oxygen isotopic composition of accessory minerals in jadeitites: investigating the timing of fluid release and fluid-rock interactions in subduction zones.”
- Early solar system evolution (oxygen isotope analysis and Al-Mg chronology of chondrules and Ca-Al-rich inclusions in chondrites by SIMS)
- Dating of accessory minerals by SIMS (e.g., zircon in jadeitites, apatite in meteorites)
- Stable isotope paleoclimate proxies
- High resolution determination of isotope ratios in minerals and other solid matter by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)
