Dr Alexander De Vries Van Leeuwen

Externally-Funded Research Fellow (A)

School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences

Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

I am a geologist with research interests in petrology, metamorphism, tectonics, geochronology, and geochemistry. My research to date has focused on unravelling the thermal evolution of regions that have experienced complex, high-grade metamorphism via the application of various petrochronological methods.

My current research is focused on understanding the geological framework of the central-western Gawler Craton with particular emphasis on the genesis of gold mineralisation in the region.
