 Plot of the molar proportions of Ru, Os and Ir in matrix (red circles) and lamellae (blue squares) alloys from an ophiolite. |
Research Interest
The sedimentary products of obducted ophiolites can provide unique opportunities to study osmium-iridium-ruthernium alloys, indicative of far reaches of the mantle. This work, with Prof. Richard Walker (Maryland) and John Bird (Cornell), will yield information about the 187Os/186Os in the alloys as a function of their major element chemistry, will yield information about the origin of the alloys, and potentially the evolution of the mantle. |
