Darrell Henry - Research Interests

Over the last several years my research can be considered in terms of several general themes: (1) crystal chemistry of individual minerals with respect to the rocks in which they occur and the conditions in which they form, (2) relation between metamorphism and tectonic evolution of the metamorphic terrain, (3) fluids in the crust and (4) novel instrumental approaches to mineral and rock interpretation.

• Crystal Chemistry of minerals
  • Tourmaline
  • Biotite
  • Chlorite
  • Zircon
• Metamorphic Petrology and Tectonometamorphism
  • Petrology of the Archean rocks of the Beartooth Mountains, Montana-Wyoming
  • Contact metamorphism proximal to dikes in subsurface Louisiana
• Provenance of sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks
• Fluids in the Crust
  • Mineral anion contents as they relate to metamorphic fluids
• Instrumental techniques
  • Cathodoluminescence

Darrell Henry is the Campanile Charities Professor of Geology and Geophysics at Louisiana State University whose research specialty is metamorphic petrology. Further details of his professional background are included in an accompanying vita or faculty profile.
