Larsemann Hills ASMA
Project aim
Boron is normally lost from sediments with increasing metamorphism. We will investigate how borosilicate rich rocks of the Larsemann Hills can retain boron following granulite-facies metamorphism. Our hypothesis is that high initial boron contents facilitate retention. Field and laboratory investigations will examine the evolution of boron-rich rocks under granulite-facies conditions.
