Glaucia Queiroga

Biography:

I specialise in metamorphic petrology and geological mapping. I  am currently developing and applying existing methodologies for microanalysis via electron microprobe, including Th-U-Pb dating of monazite grains.

My focus is centered on the petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of the Macaúbas basin (including the rifting stage, ophiolites and passive margin) and of the Rio das Velhas and Minas supergroups, Quadrilátero Ferrífero.

2014: Post-doctoral research, Technische Universitat Bergakademie Freiberg (TU, Freiberg, Germany)
