FLUID-AIDED ALTERATION OF MONAZITE AND XENOTIME AS A RESULT OF COUPLED DISSOLUTION-REPRECIPITATION: RESETTING THE MONAZITE AND XENOTIME GEOCHRONOMETER DURING HIGH-GRADE METASOMATISM IN METAMORPHIC AND IGNEOUS ROCKS

Daniel E. Harlov currently works for the Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) in Potsdam, Germany. He has authored or coauthored more than 160 papers on geology, mineralogy and geochemistry, and is a recognized expert on experimental modeling of metasomatic processes. His career focuses on experimental equilbria between and metasomatic alteration of REE-bearing minerals, including apatite, monazite, xenotime, and allanite, experimental metasomatic alteration of zircon and garnet, the role of fluids and melts during high grade metamorphism, and genesis of Kiruna-type magnetite-apatite ore deposits and other IOCG deposits. Daniel E. Harlov also conducted research att the University of Johannesburg, South Africa as a Visiting Professor. He serves as Fellow of the American Mineralogical Society, associated editors of international journals, American Mineralogist and Lithos.
