MY RESEARCH
I investigate reservoir interactions and their timing in different spheres of the Earth’s system including atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and the Earth’s crust. In particular during the last years I have developed a strong interest in the associations among geodynamic setting, petrogenesis of magmas and the formation of porphyry-type deposits at convergent margins. I also work on technical developments in the field of lead isotope analyses of whole rocks and on ore minerals dating using Pb-Pb stepwise leaching and Re-Os techniques. Recently I have started to work on the application of unconventional stable isotopes (Cl, Cu, Zn) to the petrogenesis of arc magmas.
