My PhD focuses on exploring garnet replacement textures in various metamorphic settings to determine the durations of geological processes.

Garnet offers a unique window into transient metamorphic conditions. By combining macro to microstructural observations and thermodynamic modelling, I aim to constrain the pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution and fluid–rock interactions recorded by garnets during both growth and retrogression. The current case study focuses on samples from the Western Gneiss Region in Norway, where garnet-bearing gneisses preserve potential evidence of eclogite to amphibolite-facies overprints on earlier granulite-facies assemblages. Through the study of replacement textures and compositional zoning, this work seeks to better understand the timescales and mechanisms of metamorphic re-equilibration and the role of fluids in the process.
