********************************************************************************************************
The position forms a critical component of 5-year NERC-funded consortium project ‘Mantle volatiles: Processes, reservoirs and fluxes’. The position is fixed term for 24 months, with a start date preferably on or before 1st May 2017. The aim of the project is to improve understanding of volatile recycling at subduction zones through analysis and characterisation of primitive rocks from Kamchatka for volatiles and trace elements, using a range of methods to examine and interpret H, C, F, Cl, S, B, and B isotopic compositions. Likely analytical techniques will include electron microprobe, laser ablation ICP-MS, secondary ion mass spectrometry and possibly synchrotron source methods. We expect to analyse primarily glasses and melt inclusions, supplemented by the analysis of solid mineral phases in mantle xenoliths. The project will complement on going work on volatiles and noble gases in ocean island basalts and mid-ocean ridge basalts within the consortium.
