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
- Magma storage and transport in terrestrial and extra-terrestrial magmatic systems
- Mantle geochemical heterogeneity
- Redox evolution of the mantle, magmas and melt inclusions
- Volatile recycling in the solid Earth
