Ymchwil
Mae gen i ddiddordeb ym mhob agwedd ar genesis blaendal mwynau hydrothermol, gyda ffocws ar ddyddodion aur orogenig. Yn benodol, mae fy ymchwil yn cynnwys sefydlu'r prosesau sy'n arwain at ganolbwyntio aur mewn symiau economaidd, a ffynonellau a chymeriad yr hylifau hydrothermol sy'n hwyluso'r prosesau hyn. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn rheolaethau strwythurol ar leoliad a maint dyddodion mwynau, yn ogystal â datblygu offer newydd ar gyfer archwilio blaendal mwynau.
Rwy'n mynd i'r afael â'r pynciau hyn trwy astudiaethau maes, dadansoddi testunol a chemegol o fwynau, ac ymchwilio i gyfansoddiad a thymheredd gwreiddiol a phwysau hylifau hydrothermol hynafol sy'n dwyn aur wedi'u dal mewn grawn mwynau. Rwyf hefyd yn defnyddio geocemeg isotop sefydlog o fwynau sy'n gysylltiedig â mwyn (e.e. tourmaline, dolomite, pyrite) i archwilio ffynonellau hylifau hydrothermol, a thrwy ddirprwy, ffynonellau aur.
Addysgu
Rwy'n addysgu cysyniadau fundemental mewn daeareg adnoddau (gan gynnwys metel, mwynau diwydiannol a dyddodion cyfanredol, adnoddau ynni a hydrodaeareg) i fyfyrwyr blwyddyn gyntaf. Rwyf hefyd yn arwain modiwl astudiaethau achos archwilio ail flwyddyn, sy'n cynnwys cyflwyniad i ymdrin â data archwilio mwynau yn y byd go iawn gan ddefnyddio meddalwedd cyfrifiadurol y diwydiant.
Rwy'n arwain cyrsiau maes yng Nghernyw a Gogledd Cymru, ac yn cydlynu nifer helaeth o ddiwydiannau ar gyfer y rhaglen BSc Archwilio ac Adnoddau yng Nghaerdydd.

Ardrawiad
Mae gan ddealltwriaeth fanwl o fwynoleg ac esblygiad daearegol dyddodion mwynau botensial mawr i effeithio'n gadarnhaol ar effeithiolrwydd ac effeithlonrwydd archwilio, o bron i waith cloddio i weithgareddau maes glas.
Mae fy ymchwil, mewn cydweithrediad â diwydiant, yn cyfrannu nodweddu manwl dyddodion unigol, ac at ddatblygu modelau system mwynau gysyniadol, sy'n cynorthwyo ymgyrchoedd archwilio rhanbarthol.
