Current Research Interests

Metamorphism at high temperatures; geological development of Antarctica and Gondwana; tectonic histories of Archaean and Proterozoic shields; experimental studies of mineral and mineral-melt equilibria; geochemistry of basement terraines.

My research in a nutshell

In this video Simon describes how when continents collide the deep crust can get remarkably hot. Just how hot, and for how long, is a big issue that radioactive minerals such as zircon can help resolve.
