Title: Seafloor hydrothermal systems control seawater chemistry: evidence from fluid inclusions in halite
Scientific field of interest
- chemically deposited sediments to understand Earth’s ancient hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere and is regarded as one of the world’s authorities on salt deposits
- changes in the chemistry of the ancient oceans
- ancient climates and global atmospheric changes from ancient lake deposits
- long-term survival of microorganisms and DNA in salt deposits
GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel - Division of Dynamics of the Ocean Floor
Title: Recent advances in experimental studies with melt inclusions at controlled P-T-fO2-aH2O conditions
Scientific field of interest
- origin of mantle-derived magmas, their derivatives and recycling of different chemical elements in subduction-related and intraplate oceanic tectonic settings
- the role and amount of volatiles (H2O, CO2, S, halogens) involved in magma genesis in subduction zones
- to understand the ability of magmatic inclusions to preserve volatiles from leakage. Recently he performed many experiments with natural melt inclusions at high P-T conditions and in presence of volatiles. Some results of these experiments challenge our conventional view on melt inclusions, and they will be presented at ECROFI
Università degli Studi di Torino - Department of Earth Sciences
Title: UHP fluid inclusions: indicators of the petrological and geochemical role of the fluids released at sub-arc depths
Scientific field of interest
- fluid phases (and recycling of volatiles) involved in petrological and geochemical processes within oceanic and continental lithosphere from different geodynamic settings
- metasomatic processes in crust and lithospheric mantle
- P-T-t evolution of the crust during subduction and rifting, with geodynamic interpretations
- micro-Raman and fluid inclusion applications in sedimentary processes
- minero-petrographic and micro-Raman applications in Cultural Heritage

Title: LA-ICP-MS for fluid inclusion analysis: current capabilities and application cases
Scientific field of interest
- Ore deposits and associated fluids
- Fluid/rock interaction and elemental budget
