Research interests
My research seeks to understand and quantify the processes that operate within volcanic systems, from melt generation in the mantle to eruption at the surface. I use a range of approaches, including geological observations, field studies, geochemical microanalysis and modelling. The ultimate goal of my work is to understand the links between mantle melting, melt mixing and storage, magma differentiation and degassing, and volcanic plumbing, in controlling eruptive activity and geochemical diversity in different geological settings.
Current research themes:
- Volcanic and magmatic gas budgets and fluxes
- Timescales of magmatic processes in terrestrial and extra-terrestrial magmatic systems
- Equilibrium and disequilibrium processes in basaltic volcanism
- Magma storage and transport
- Mantle geochemical heterogeneity
- Redox evolution of the mantle, magmas and melt inclusions
- Melt segregation in lava flows and magmatic systems
- Volatile accretion, differentiation and recycling in the solid Earth
