Holly Anne Lydia Elliott

Holly Anne Lydia Elliott is an Associate Lecturer in Earth Sciences at the College of Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on geochemical processes in carbonatite complexes, magmatic systems, and ore deposit formation. She has contributed to studies on rare earth element (REE) enrichment, diatreme volcanism, and fluid-rock interactions in volcanic environments.

Her work examines phenomena such as metasomatic alteration around carbonatite complexes and the role of diatremes in mineralization. Key contributions include analyses of fenite formation, magma plumbing systems, and the geology of SW Ireland's ore fields.

Elliott has collaborated on projects involving international co-authors, publishing in journals like Economic Geology and Ore Geology Reviews. Her research spans volcanology, petrology, and economic geology, with implications for mineral exploration and understanding igneous processes.
