Balik PhD Startup Grant - Pressure-temperature-deformation-time (P-T-D-t) history and petrogenesis of Romblon metamorphic rocks: Implications for the western Philippine arc-continent collision zone

Faculty: Gabriel Theophilus V. Valera, Ph.D.

This project aims to constrain the P-T-D-t history and petrogenesis of the metamorphic rocks exposed in the Romblon island group. Specific aims include determining the field, petrographic, geochemical, and geochronological signatures of the metamorphic rocks in the Romblon island group; constraining the metamorphic history P-T-D-t paths of the metamorphic rocks in the Romblon island group; and correlating the reconstructed P-T-D-t history of the metamorphic rocks to regional tectonic events in western Philippines.

This research addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals for Life on Land (SDG 15).
