Dr. Blamey’s research is driven by fluid inclusion studies into a broad range of geological environments and includes hydrothermal ore deposits, geothermal, ancient atmospheric oxygen, and exotic systems. He has a mass spectrometer system for analyzing fluid inclusion gases and is able to discriminate fluid sources (magmatic, meteoric, metamorphic, basinal), identify processes (boiling, condensation, mixing), constrain REDOX, correct isochors, apply gas geothermometry, and conduct solubility modeling of metals such as gold in hydrothermal fluids.
