Hi folks,

Just a quick note that I’m still looking for a graduate student RA to work on a project funded by the US National Science Foundation to investigate Raman spectroscopic systematics in mineral inclusions. The main idea is to explore thermobarometrically useful mineral pairs and identify limiting factors in the applicability of thermoba-Raman-try (e.g. maximum T, mineral shape, etc.). I’m mainly interested in metamorphic systems, but there’s latitude to consider igneous systems also.

A student could start as early as this fall, or January, depending on his/her schedule. I welcome either MS- or PhD-level candidates.

Please have students contact me directly.

Thanks,

Matt
