I was born in Perth and have lived here most of my life. I graduated from UWA with a BSc (Geology and Geochemistry) in 2010. I love hiking but have always been frustrated by Perth's lack of mountains. I was delighted then, to get an opportunity to carry out an Honours project in Greenland in 2011 under the supervision of Marco Fiorentini, Nicolas Thebaud and Leon Bagas from CET, and Jochen Kolb and Bo MØller Stensgaard from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). My Honours research was aimed at characterising nickel sulfide mineralisation discovered by GEUS between Graah Fjord and Bernstorff Isfjord in South-East Greenland. In 2012 I will return to Greenland for my PhD research which is building on my previous Honours research. I will be using the exposed lower crustal rocks in the Thrym complex of South-east Greenland to study the evolution and emplacement of Ni-Cu-PGE bearing magmatic systems in the lower crust and the nature and role of magmatic vapour phases in these systems.
