Assistant Professor
Biography
My research focuses on igneous and ore-forming processes, with a personal penchant for subduction zones. I am interested in what governs the formation and evolution of dynamic, magmatic systems—and their accompanying fluids—with implications for broader crustal-scale interactions and tectonics over space and time. I integrate geological field observations with geochemistry, geochronology, and petrologic modeling to answer questions about how rocks and minerals on Earth have formed. I value collaborative and interdisciplinary work, including integrating science questions with related societal issues such as mineral resources, volcanic hazards, and geoethics. Graduate Students: Marisol Gonzales Flores: Nickel sulfide deposits Heather Aikman: Granitoid "mush" clasts from Laguna del Maule volcanic field Post Doctorates: Zoe Molitor: The Concord Granites of the Acadian Orogeny
