I work on the transfer of chalcophile elements from melts towards the hydrosphere/atmosphere and its implication for ore deposits formation and life evolution through geological timescales. I am also interested in petro-geochemical processes leading to the formation of high-silica oceanic lavas. My principal area of interest is the Fatu Kapa magmatic-hydrothermal system located close to the Futuna Island (NW Lau back-arc basin) in a slab-decoupled back-arc setting. My work at SNU will consist in (1) comparing the behavior of Platinum-Group Elements between Fatu Kapa and Mid-Oceanic Ridge Basalt melts, as well as (2) comparing magmatic sulfides composition and behavior between Fatu Kapa and slab-coupled melts of the Tonga back-arc basin.
