Please note, I am no longer accepting graduate students
The Physical Petrology Group emphasizes the physics of magmas, hydrothermal systems, metamorphism, and eruption processes. Students develop and learn a diverse suite of tools to address these systems: numerical modeling, laboratory experiments, geological and geophysical measurements, and theoretical foundations of physical chemistry and continuum mechanics. All students are encouraged to do fieldwork and to develop transport models in a sensible geologic context.
