Professional Interests:
Physical Volcanology, Petrology, Geochemistry, GIS. My research involves examining eruptive processes of volcanoes in both subaerial and submarine environments. I am interested in explosive eruption dynamics of submarine arc volcanoes, the resulting deposits, and geochemical exchange between magma and seawater and magma and hydrothermal fluids. I am also interested in lava flow morphologies and using remote sensing techniques, such as LiDAR, to quantitatively analyze volcanic terrains.
