My research program will focus on hydrothermal sulfide deposits that form on the seafloor as a result of circulation of seawater through oceanic crust at submarine mid-ocean ridges and subduction-related environments. Emphasis will be placed on deposit size and distribution, deposit evolution over time, and how these deposits are preserved in the geological rock record. With growing interest in the exploitation of these metal-rich deposits, this research will develop and employ state-of-the-art exploration technology and analytical tools to increase our understanding of seafloor hydrothermal circulation, and the potential for sustainable development of marine mineral resources.

我的研究项目将侧重于海底热液硫化物矿床，这些矿床是由于海水通过海底洋中脊和俯冲相关环境的洋壳循环而形成的。重点将放在存款的大小和分布，存款演变随着时间的推移，以及如何这些存款保存在地质岩石记录。 随着人们对开采这些富金属矿床的兴趣日益浓厚，这项研究将开发和采用最先进的勘探技术和分析工具，以增进我们对海底热液循环以及海洋矿产资源可持续发展潜力的了解。
