معرفی
Dr. Rachel Bezard is a Researcher in the Department of Geochemistry and Isotope Geology at the University of Goettingen's Geoscience Center. Her research focuses on igneous processes, crustal recycling, and mantle dynamics, employing radiogenic and stable isotopes to study Earth's evolution. She holds a PhD from Durham University and Macquarie University (2014), with prior academic positions at institutions in Germany, Australia, and Canada. Her work bridges geochemistry and petrology, addressing magmatic evolution in oceanic arcs and continental suture zones.
Education:
- BSc Earth Sciences: University of Western Brittany (France) and Laval University (Canada), 2008
- MSc Earth Sciences: Laval University (Canada), 2010
- PhD Geochemistry: Durham University (UK) and Macquarie University (Australia), 2014
Research Interests:
- Crust-mantle interactions and subduction zone processes
- Isotope geochemistry (Mo, Os, Re/Os systems)
- Magmatic evolution of oceanic arcs and continental sutures
- Crustal assimilation dynamics in volcanic systems
Her publications span silicic magma origins, fluid-melt interactions, and ophiolite petrology, with recent work emphasizing Mo isotopic tracers in Tonga-Kermadec subduction systems. Affiliated with the Geoscience Center, her lab integrates field and analytical geochemistry with numerical modeling.
Advising/Grants: No information provided on student advising or grant leadership.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Geochemistry and Isotope Geology Department, collaborating internationally on subduction zone geochemistry and crustal recycling studies.
