Jacques Touret
Jacques Touret joined the Vrije Universiteit in 1980, as a full professor in petrology,
mineralogy and ore geology, freshly imported from France. He quickly established a fluid
inclusion research lab, which became a reference for this type of research. Jacques’s fluid
inclusions students came from many countries and have taken their expertise to many
countries: Germany (Fons van den Kerkhof), Italy (Maria Luce Frezotti), South Africa
(Jan Marten Huizenga), China (Bin Fu and Cong Yuexiang) and soon Chili (Eduardo
Campos). Other Ph.D. students have also spread the news
about Amsterdam, for instance in Indonesia (Jan
Sopaheluwakan) and Zimbabwe (Hielke Jelsma,
now in South Africa). Ernst Burke - the Belgian
mineralogist, Raman probe specialist and head of
the Microanalysis lab at the VU earth science
department - and his coworker Wim Lustenhouwer
must be mentioned as well in this respect. Their
role was and continues to be essential. Ernst, Wim
and their colleagues enable top-notch quality
analysis of inclusions.
Vernadsky-Setup
A. General view of the Vernadsky-Institute type high-temperature set-up with controlled He atmosphere and video display at the VU.
B. Detail of the high-temperature heating stage at the VU (up to 1500 degrees C).
C. General view of the heating/quenching element of the Vernadsky stage at the VU;
arrow indicates the position of the melt inclusion. The quenching time is 1-2 seconds.
