New Positions Available

•Post-doc in computational geodynamics and seismology: to study the upper mantle dynamics of hotspots using observations of surface wave anisotropy. Click here for details.

•Graduate students: We seek students who wish to apply their strengths in math and physics to studying problems in geodynamics. Topics include mantle convection, magma dynamics, and faulting-magmatic interactions. See Students & Post-docs page for recent examples.

Research Interests

•Dynamics of upper mantle flow and magma generation (click images for information)

•Geophysical constraints in the structure of the crust and upper mantle

•Origin of geochemical variations at hotspots and mid-ocean ridges

•Faulting and magmatism at mid-ocean ridges (see movie)
