Multi-stage subduction-related metasomatism recorded in whiteschists from the Dora-Maira Massif, Western Alps (2023)
Journal Article

Whiteschists from the Dora-Maira massif (Western Alps, Italy) are Mg and K-rich metasomatised granites which experienced ultra-high pressure metamorphism and fluid-rock interaction during Alpine continental subduction. The sources and timing of fluid... Read More about Multi-stage subduction-related metasomatism recorded in whiteschists from the Dora-Maira Massif, Western Alps.

Discrimination of thermodynamic and kinetic contributions to the heavy rare earth element patterns in metamorphic garnet (2022)
Journal Article

Variations of rare earth element (REE) concentrations in metamorphic garnet are an important source of information of geodynamic and geochemical processes in the deeper Earth. In order to extract this information, the thermodynamic equilibrium and ki...

The behaviour of nitrogen during subduction of oceanic crust: insights from in situ SIMS analyses of high-pressure rocks (2022)
Journal Article

Understanding the Earth’s geological nitrogen (N) cycle requires an understanding of how N behaves during dehydration of subducted crust. We present the first in situ measurements of N in silicate minerals by secondary ion mass spectrometry, focusing...

Nitrogen loss and isotopic fractionation during granulite-facies metamorphism in the lower crust (Ivrea Zone, NW Italy) (2021)
Journal Article

The Ivrea Zone, exposed in the Southern Alps, affords an examination of nitrogen mobilization and storage in deep continental crust, in rocks spanning the amphibolite to granulite facies transition and that experienced multiple devolatilization react... Read More about Nitrogen loss and isotopic fractionation during granulite-facies metamorphism in the lower crust (Ivrea Zone, NW Italy).

Earth’s Nitrogen and Carbon Cycles (2021)
Journal Article

Understanding the Earth’s geological nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) cycles is fundamental for assessing the distribution of these volatiles between solid Earth (core, mantle and crust), oceans and atmosphere. This Special Communication about the Earth’s... Read More about Earth’s Nitrogen and Carbon Cycles.

Tourmaline reference materials for the in situ analysis of oxygen and lithium isotope ratio compositions (2020)
Journal Article

Three tourmaline reference materials sourced from the Harvard Mineralogical and Geological Museum (schorl 112566, dravite 108796 and elbaite 98144), which are already widely used for the calibration of in situ boron isotope measurements, are characte...

Deciphering the Jurassic–Cretaceous evolution of the Hamadan metamorphic complex during Neotethys subduction, western Iran (2020)
Journal Article

The Hamadan high-grade metapelites in the northwestern part of the Sanandaj–Sirjan zone, Iran, show a polymetamorphic evolution with relics of a garnet-bearing metamorphic mineral assemblage (M1), a contact metamorphic overprint (M2) related to the e...

Pinched between the plates: Armenia's voluminous record of volcanic activity (2020)
Journal Article

Located in the heart of the Lesser Caucasus mountains, where the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates collide, Armenia occupies an exceptional geological position shaped through millions of years of subduction and collision. It is a unique place on t... Read More about Pinched between the plates: Armenia's voluminous record of volcanic activity.

Barium isotopic composition of the mantle: Constraints from carbonatites (2020)
Journal Article

To investigate the behaviour of Ba isotopes during carbonatite petrogenesis and to explore the possibility of using carbonatites to constrain the Ba isotopic composition of the mantle, we report high-precision Ba isotopic analyses of: (1) carbonatite...

Insights into the magma plumbing system of La Fossa di Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy) using oxygen isotopes and clinopyroxene crystal structure (2020)
Journal Article

<p>The presently active La Fossa cone, Vulcano, widely considered the most hazardous volcano in the Aeolian Islands, is characterised by alternating periods of Vulcanian to subplinian explosive events and lava flow effusion. It has for... Read More about Insights into the magma plumbing system of La Fossa di Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy) using oxygen isotopes and clinopyroxene crystal structure.
