Gloria is using apatite and zircon chemistry to investigate the magmatic and tectonic evolution of the Gangdese and Ladakh arcs.

John is studying the uptake of rare-earth elements into fossils to better understand unconventional sources of strategic metals.

Sajjad is studying the pressure-temperature-time evolution of the Tso Morari ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic complex in northern India to understand the earliest stages of the Indo-Asian collision.

Alexus is studying the petrochronological and tectonic evolution of the NW Himalaya in the Sutlej Valley area

Emma is studying rare-element partitioning between aqueous fluids and apatite surfaces (adsorption partitioning)

Myla has measured infrared and Raman spectra on apatite, and is developing a new method to determine OH contents of apatite using microspectroscopy

Armando is measuring detrital zircon and apatite chemistry and geochronology to investigate the thickness(es) of the central Gangdese arc in southern Tibet

Madeline applies Raman spectroscopy as an unconventional method to determine stress gradients in crystals

Katie is measuring Zr-in-rutile temperatures and U-Pb ages of metamorphic rocks in northern India to constrain the geometry of the Tso Morari ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic complex. She is also measuring trace elements in biogenic materials.
