🚨 TARGET PhD Opportunities 🚨

There are a number of funded PhD opportunities available in the field of mineral resources through the new NERC Centre for Doctoral Training TARGET Mineral Resources (target.le.ac.uk).

Deadline to apply is the 15th of January 2024!

New paper alert! Happy to report #zircon #geochronology constraints on the accretion of superfast-spreading oceanic crust at (I)ODP Hole 1256D. Cardiff School of Earth & Environmental Sciences Dan Condon

Interested in doing a PhD on the Earth's #mantle ? Check out this great opportunity Cardiff School of Earth & Environmental Sciences to work on the unique 1.2 km long core of mantle rocks that we recovered this year:

📢Job claxon📢Interested in the oceanic mantle and its melts? Looking for a postdoc? You’re in luck: #IODP_Italia have funding for postdoctoral fellowships! You can work with the fantastic Carlotta Ferrando and myself on the excellent #Exp399 cores. DM if you’re interested!

Another article on the amazing mantle rocks sampled from under the ocean floor by #IODP ⁩ #EXP399 😎 & a reminder of the sad state of affairs that IODP, a decades running international scientific effort is being defunded next year! 😠

'Scientists on land have been eagerly keeping tabs on the expedition, anticipating a jackpot of data that will open a new window into the deep Earth and fuel years of research.' #Exp399 #IODP #JRSO JOIDES Resolution U.S. National Science Foundation #NSFfunded

What effect does reactive melt migration have on the porosity of mafic crystal mush? Great new paper led by Matthew Gleeson Cardiff School of Earth & Environmental Sciences 👇

Gleeson et al., used a melt-mush reaction model to simulate the chemical, mineralogical and physical consequences of reactive flow in a multi-component mush system.

The #Exp399 harzburgites contain some really nice dunite bands, many with Cr-spinel 👌 JOIDES Resolution

IODP #Exp399 is on 🔥🔥🔥. We're recovering a mindblowing amount of peridotites! JOIDES Resolution
