The overarching objective of my research program for the next five years is to gain a better understanding of the geologic processes that lead to the formation of what are commonly referred to as economic grade iron oxide apatite (IOA) deposits. This includes the initial emplacement and crystallization, the subsequent metasomatic alteration of the host rocks, the mineralization, and any post mineralization alteration. These deposits are a major source of iron from many well-known localities around the world. There are at least two major unresolved issues with our current understanding of IOA deposits.

未来五年我的研究计划的总体目标是更好地了解导致通常被称为经济级氧化铁磷灰石（IOA）矿床形成的地质过程。这包括最初的侵位和结晶，随后的交代蚀变的寄主岩石，矿化，和任何矿化后的蚀变。这些矿床是来自世界各地许多著名地区的铁的主要来源。我们目前对IOA存款的理解至少有两个主要的悬而未决的问题。
