Short presentation

My research is focused on U-Pb geochronology (by isotopic dilution-TIMS and in-situ by SIMS) and Ar-Ar dating of terrestrial and extra-terrestrial materials (terrestrial and lunar basalts, chondrules, lunar breccias). I am also interested in deciphering the petrogenesis of terrestrial Continental Flood Basalts and alkaline rocks as well as lunar basalts. I am specifically interested in the chemical characterisation of magma sources using isotopes systematics (Sr-Nd-Pb-Os-Hf).

Keywords: isotope geochemistry geochronology large igneous provinces (lips) isotopic micro-analysis alkaline rocks geology of the moon
