PhD position in Volcanology/igneous petrology and geochemistry
Scholarship Description
Project: The origin of Permian mafic igneous suites of “northern India”: implications for the geodynamics of the southern Tethyan margin of Pangea, The Permian period (296–251 million years ago, Ma) is notable for (i) its mass extinctions and (ii) large-scale mafic volcanism. An apparently enhanced output of mafic volcanism affected many continental areas on the eastern side of Pangea (to the north, east and south of Paleotethys) now preserved in the Himalaya along a 2500 km long belt between northern Pakistan and NE India (via NW India, Nepal, and southern Tibet). Surprisingly little is known about these volcanic series; this project will be part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research project.
