Research
Dr. Hetherington is interested in the origins of mineral textures and their application to understanding the petrology and geochemistry of crustal rocks. Research seeks to understand processes and we use field localities in Europe, North America and southern Africa. In the laboratory we use whole-rock and in situ micro-analysis techniques coupled with optical and electron microscopy to characterize textures and compositional signatures of Earth materials.Courses
