- 2023-2024, ANZIC (Australian and New Zealand International Ocean Discovery Program Consortium) Legacy Funding - project: "Unravelling the tectonic and metamorphic framework of subglacial East Antarctica using detrital garnet Lu-Hf geochronology". Awarded a grant of $11,660 to analyse IODP, ODP and DSDP core material from glacial outflow deposits along the margin of East Antarctica. These glacial outflow deposits are important archives of detritus (sediments and clasts) that were eroded from East Antarctica's crystalline basement - which is currently almost entirely covered by an extensive ice sheet. Novel geochronological dating techniques will be applied to detrital sediments from selected core samples and the resulting dataset will provide us with new insights into the geological history of subglacial East Antarctica and into the tectonic evolution of past supercontinent configurations.
