Fabiana Richter is a PhD student at the University of Rochester. You can stay up to date with her research here. If you have ever seen pictures of the natural wonders of Brazil, you probably have seen a picture of the Sugar Loaf in the Rio de Janeiro City. It turns out that hundreds of Sugar Loafs […]
Anne Van Loon is a Lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Her research is focused on catchment hydrology and hydrogeology. She studies the relationship between climate, landscape/geology, and hydrological extremes and its variation around the world. She is especially interested in the influence of storage in groundwater, human activities, and cold conditions (snow and glaciers) on the […]
Michael Anenburg is a PhD student in the Research School of Earth Sciences of the Australian National University. He is a regular contributor to OnCirculation, the blog of the school. His research focuses on using field observations and experimental petrology to study the PGE (platinum-group elements) in sulfide ore deposits, the REE (rare earth elements) […]
Nicole Williamson is a Ph.D. candidate at the Pacific Centre for Isotope and Geochemical Research in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science, University of British Columbia. Her current research involves the geochemistry of shield stage lavas from the northernmost Hawaiian island of Kauai. Those who have had the immense privilege to work in […]
Catherine Wheller is at the pointy end of her PhD at The University of Melbourne, Australia (excepted completion early 2017). Her research involves using phase equilibria modelling of mineral assemblages to investigate the formation conditions of high-grade metamorphic rocks. She produced a new thermodynamic model for sapphirine and is applying this model to rocks collected […]
