If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Rachael Rhodes .

Carbonatites are the premier economic source for the light rare earth elements (REE), which are crucial for magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines. In this talk I will outline an ore formation model for REE -mineralised carbonatites, briefly outlining how rare earth element concentrations are progressively increased through a variety of geological processes from initial melting, melt evolution & fractionation, hydrothermal overprinting ad finally, weathering.

This talk is part of the Department of Earth Sciences Seminars (downtown) series.
