Research
Study of natural samples from the continental crust and lithospheric mantle in subduction environments aimed to understand:
Mechanisms of element transfer from the subducting plate to the mantle, with particular interest in the analysis of volatile elements (C-O-H) in metamorphic minerals and fluids and their behaviour at ultrahigh pressure;
Role of fluid phases in metasomatic processes responsible for hydration and carbonation of the mantle at subduction zones;
Oxidation state of mafic and ultramafic rocks, speciation of crustal fluids components at subduction zones and its implication in the global geochemical cycle of volatile elements;
Role of fluid phases in deformation mechanisms of the lower crust and in the earthquakes genesis;
Mineral carbonation and its role in carbon capture, storage and utilisation.
