Projekte:
Within the section, I am leading the research group on numerical modelling of hydrothermal systems and am co-leading the subtopic Magmatic-hydrothermal processes within the topic Geofluids, material transport and element cycling of section 3.1.
I am involved in the DFG-Priority Program DOME as a committee member and in the research projects "Crossing the magmatic-hydrothermal interface within ore-forming systems with numerical models (CROWN)" and "Melts-Fluids-Models: keys to understanding ore-forming processes at the world-class Neves Corvo massive sulphide deposit, Iberian Pyrite Belt" (list of all projects in DOME). I further participate in the StRATEGy graduate school, where we study the role of magmas vs. hydrothermal fluids in metal transport and metallogenesis in the Cenozoic arc and back-arc magmatic province of the Central Andes, NW Argentina (PhD student at University of Potsdam: Malte Stoltnow). In cooperation with the research group of Sarah Gleeson, we also investigate the formation of sediment-hosted base metal deposits with numerical models. The research group started as the Young Investigator group GRAMM, which was funded by the BMBF within the r4-programme and aims at quantifying ore-forming processes in magmatic-hydrothermal systems.
