Buzzing to finally get my 2 Cyclades lockdown/ overspill PhD projects finally published online today in GSA Bulletin! Links below: Timing of high pressure metamorphism on Naxos: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/gsabulleti… Cyclades crustal derived granites study: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/gsabulleti…


🚨Fully funded PhD alert🚨 3.5-year position at University of St Andrews with Nick Gardiner as primary supervisor looking at Li and Sn in granites. Fieldwork in Namibia, and various lab work and petrologic modeling. Full info here: shorturl.at/ehoZ4 #critical #metals #geology


Great to be back on my annual pilgrimage to Naxos for a tectonic, metamorphic and igneous geoextravaganza with University of Bristol Earth Sciences 3rd years! A successful first day covering everything migmatites, mylonites and marbles! 😃☀️🏖🌄🇬🇷


An enjoyable few days with University of Bristol Earth Sciences 3rd years, investigating the geological history of Naxos. It still amazes me how Naxos records an entire orogenic cycle from subduction, thrusting, folding, crustal thickening and Barrovian metamorphism, melting then extension! 🤯😅🌄


Well done to all the University of Bristol Earth Sciences 3rd year geologists for all their hard work and for making a really gneiss week on Naxos!! ⛰️🪨🇬🇷☀️

We have a 3.5 year NERC ARIES PhD University of Plymouth investigating how oceanic crust forms in the Oman ophiolite. Fieldwork + paleomagnetism + petrology! UK applicants only. DEADLINE 19TH MAY: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/m…

Had a great time at #SEG2023 presenting a poster on the GIS database work I am undertaking for the "Squeeze & Trigger" team. Check out their fantastic work on PCDs! Thanks for being such a wonderful and supportive group! Frances Cooper Thomas Lamont (+ others). University of Bristol Earth Sciences


The Lloyds Tour of Britain 2023 is well underway and Richard Palin and myself are doing daily tweets about the geology enroute. Follow Geology Tour of Britain to get local insight into Britain's fascinating and diverse geology as the riders pass through the sunny British countryside. ☀️😎🔨🚴

Cleck out the Geology Tour of Britain account for an overview of the geology of stage 6 of the Lloyds Tour of Britain through Essex from Marlow to Southend on Sea!

Fun to host Thomas Lamont at EarthSciences UCL today! Talking about our BHP-funded work on tectonics, magmatism, and #copper in Arizona 🌵 🔨 ☀️ 🌎

Really excited to see our #openaccess paper out today! Great work led by Thomas Lamont suggesting Laramide porphyry #copper deposits in the western USA resulted from water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction. Huge thanks to BHP & National Environmental Isotope Facility for funding! 🌟🌵🌎🇺🇲
