Multi-tasking at its best… looking at the fate of tellurium in contaminated soils using the European synchrotron in Grenoble, keeping in touch with footy, all from the safety of our lockdown in Melbourne! Makes for interesting logbook… @MonashEAE @esrfsynchrotron

2022 "The Earth Futures Festival will enable Earth Scientists to tell compelling stories in ways that will capture the imagination of audiences around the world and raise awareness of the current global challenges addressed by geoscientists in the field.”

The amazing @melaniefinch_ of @MonashEAE features in the latest episode of @avid_podcast. Make sure you check it out!

Day 55: A mylonitic granite. I wonder if the rectangular porphyroclasts started as a longer leucocratic layer that boudinaged into pieces…? Or can rectangular porphyroclasts from naturally from granitic phenocrysts? Any ideas? #100daysofgeoscience

Check out my new paper in Tectonophysics, integrating EBSD and volatile/trace element geochemistry of cratonic xenoliths impacted by flat slab subduction. Aside from the geology story, we really milked these EBSD datasets for every drop of new data! authors.elsevier.com/a/1dlsp98wdwBfh

New mineral alert! My first new mineral, wildcatite, is officially published - a calcium iron tellurate hydroxide, CaFeTeO5(OH). It is named for the small gold prospect in which it was found, Wildcat prospect in Utah, USA, which I visited in 2018. doi.org/10.3749/canmin… (1/7)
