Published purpose

This project will (1) generate data on mineral/melt partitioning of a large number of elements, including critical metals, which can be used to develop quantitative models of crystallization and provide the basis for new understanding of how mineral enrichment occurs, and (2) measure the composition of these elements in a suite of minerals from a mineralised magmatic system (Davis Lake Pluton, Nova Scotia) that will be used to track melt composition, temperature and redox state in detail and to test the observed behaviour against quantitative models of crystallization.
