We are very proud to announce that Team Inherit member Dr. Francesca Innocenzi was awarded the "2024 Best PhD Thesis" prize by the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology (Società Italiana di Mineralogia e Petrologia - SIMP). Dr. Innocenzi received her award this September in Bari at the 2024 SIMP-SGI conference.
Weighing-in at a staggering ~600 pages, Dr. Innocenzi's PhD Thesis is entitled Origin of "Ultra"- rocks and is a petrological and geochemical characterization of different groups of exotic rocks (e.g., ultra-basic, -alkaline, -mafic, -calcic, etc.). This work serves as a basis for future petrogenetic models for the formation of "ultra" rocks and has shed light on nature of mantle lithologies affected by metasomatism.
We encourage everybody to check-out Dr. Innocenzi's thesis which is available in-full at https://iris.uniroma1.it/handle/11573/1705236.
This thesis is in the process of being published in the form of eight individual peer-reviewed papers, four of which are already published and are available open-access here.
