Dr. Paul Davidson is a University Associate at the University of Tasmania's School of Natural Sciences, specializing in igneous and metamorphic petrology and inorganic geochemistry. His research focuses on high-pressure minerals, supercritical fluids, and their roles in ore formation and crustal processes. He has supervised two doctoral students: Olga Vasyukova (2007–2011) and Adam Bath (2006–2010).
Key research interests include ultrahigh-pressure mineral inclusions, pegmatite formation mechanisms, and fluid-rock interactions. His work spans topics such as stishovite/coesite discovery in granulites, element enrichment under supercritical conditions, and melt-fluid immiscibility in ore deposits. Over 60 publications demonstrate his contributions to mineralogy, geochemistry, and tectonics.
- Completed Supervision: 2 PhD students.
- Collaborations: Co-authored with Thomas R., Rericha A., and others on projects involving Germany, Brazil, and Chilean geology.
Notable contributions include redefining pegmatite formation theories via supercritical fluid studies and documenting novel mineral parageneses in granitic systems.
