POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH: Investigation of the potential of melt inclusions as a petrogenetic tool in the understanding of ocean ridges: study of olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene-hosted melt inclusions from multiple samples from a single segment (FAMOUS segment, Mid-Atlantic Ridge) - Comparison with the lava dataset Understanding of the relationship between the chemical information recorded by the melt inclusions and their host phenocrysts (olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene): electron microprobe, LA ICP-MS and ion probe. Experimental study of partition coefficients for trace elements (MIT) PhD RESEARCH: Study of high Mg olivine-hosted melt inclusions in two geodynamic settings: mid-ocean ridges (FAMOUS zone, Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and oceanic islands (Réunion plume) Experiments using a high-temperature, He-atmosphere optically controlled heating/quenching stage Major, volatile and trace-element analyses: electron microprobe Cameca SX100 (Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans, Clermont-Ferrand, France), SIMS Cameca 4f (CRR, Pavia, Italy) and Laser ICP-MS (Open University, UK) Geochemical modelling of petrogenetic processes
