Project description
The project is centered on the felsic magmatism associated with critical element mineralization, (eg. Nb-Ta-Sn-W-Li-Be) in Central Africa. The goal is to understand the link between the regional geodynamic evolution, felsic magmatism and mineralization. In addition to the use of fieldwork, petrographic and geochemical techniques, this project will lead to analytical developments for radiometric dating at the UGhent.
