Nominator's project description
| Professor Bruce Yardley is widely acknowledged internationally as a highly respected petrologist whose interest and expertise lie broadly in the role of fluids in the Earth's crust. Through his textbook in metamorphic petrology he has influenced an entire generation of metamorphic petrologists. His studies on crustal fluids and their chemical evolution represent paramount contributions to the understanding of mass transfer processes in the Earth interior. In Germany, he continues his investigations focusing on fluid-mediated processes during rock deformation. |
