Evolving Cratons Stabilisation of Archaean Cratons The South American and African continents are riddled with a number continental blocks (or cratons) that have been shielded from mantle convection by thick
Archean and Proterozoic Basins We are currently using isotopes to investigate a number of Archaean and Proterozoic basins in South America. Amongst the most important isotope methods used are: U-Pb
Hugo Moreira (UoP, UK) The question of how and when continents have grown and were recycled remains a fundamental topic in Earth sciences. A key time interval is the Archaean

Guilherme Gonçalves Laser Ablation-ICP-MS U/Pb and isotopic tracing techniques have revolutionized the Earth Sciences over the past 20 years. They require a constant supply of well-characterized, isotopically-uniform standard materials. However,
Research interests (now at Cambridge University) My research interests include the use of isotopic and geochemical methods applied to magmatic and hydrothermal systems. My primary research focus is to study
RESEARCH: Dating detrital zircons of metasedimentary rocks of the Minas Supergroup PROJECT SUMMARY: investigate the sources of various strata in the Minas Supergroup via U-Pb dating of detrital zircons The
I am a geochemist and petrologist and I have a broad interest in the application of (micro-) analytical tools to study the geochemistry of different geological environments. In particular, my major
