About
I graduated in Geology (BA mod) from Trinity College Dublin in 2004. I remained at TCD to complete my IRCSET funded PhD on crustal contamination in the British and Irish Palaeogene Igneous Province. Since 2008, I have been a university teacher at the University of Glasgow.
My main research interests are magmatic processes, including magma-crust interaction and magma mixing phenomena, especially within composite intrusions. Other interests include geochemical modelling and micro-scale isotopic analysis.
I employ whole-rock and micro-scale (crystal-zone) radiogenic isotope data and major and trace element data to trace igneous processes in the British and Irish Palaeogene Igneous Province. This research aims to elucidate the structure of the crust beneath the British Isles and the influence it has had on the magmas that have passed through it. Recent work has focused on the formation of intermediate magmas and the processes of magma mixing and crustal contamination.
My current research focuses on experimental petrology and crustal contamination in the North Atlantic Igneous Province, focussing on the Faroe Islands.
