Postdoctoral Fellow working with Robert Holder
About
Areas of specialization: metamorphic petrology, geochronology, subduction zones, geochemistry
Charlotte's research interests are focused on the geochemical cycling processes active within the crust and at the crust-mantle interface. Her work uses a combination of fieldwork, lab analyses (geochronology, thermobarometry), and modeling to assess these processes.
Her current project is focused on constraining the pressure-temperature-time evolution of Mesozoic ophiolite-subduction complexes in central Baja California, Mexico. She will use a combination of garnet Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf geochronology combined with thermobarometry to determine the timing and pressure-temperature conditions of metamorphism across the area. This project aims to evaluate the geologic history of the area, from metamorphism during subduction, subsequent exhumation, and the creation of ophiolite-subduction complexes.
