Researcher biography
I am a volcano petrologist with research experience in investigating eruption mechanisms and magmatic ore-concentrating processes in the crust and under active volcanoes. My research experiences span studies of natural samples, experimental petrology (phase equilibrium and diffusion), diffusion chronometry of magmatic olivine/pyroxene/apatite, and micro-analyses of igneous minerals and their myriad of textures. I have investigated volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands, Indonesia, and Chile.
