Project Specific Research Interests & Roles

Geofluids Research Group: The GRG investigates the role of fluids in the mineralogical, chemical, and structural evolution of the Earth's crust. Research includes global based studies of: a) groundwater, b) petroleum formation and migration, c) metamorphic, magmatic and mineral deposit fluids and d) gemstone deposits. Current projects include the generation of an orogenic scale temporal and chemical framework for geofluids associated with Mo mineralisation during the Caledonian orogeny.

Chemical Monitoring Facility: This facility has the capability to analyse a diverse range of materials from the environment (e.g. soils, terrestrial and marine sediments, rocks, waters and biological tissue), to determine elemental abundances (including rare earth elements), elemental speciation and isotopic compositions. Research projects include hydrogeological controls on As abundances in groundwater wells sited in mineralised metamorphic rocks.

Digital Landscapes Group: This group generates interactive CD-ROMS for second level teaching of Earth Sciences (2 CD produced); Exploring the use of Google Earth/ GIS and Digital Terrain Models for 3 and 4D Simulations of Geological Environments. Current projects include EU NEED project focused on the Burren landscape.
