Sam Howell (M.S.
present). Sam is using 3D numerical models to test hypotheses about
mantle dynamics of the Iceland hotspot during the breakup of Greenland and
Norway with particular emphasis on the formation of the Aegir ridge basin. |

Alejandro Gallego (UH post-doc, Ph.D. 2010 Univ. of Florida). Dr. Gallego is using observations of surface waves collected on Iceland to produce solutions for mantle convection beneath Iceland. The solutions are based on 3D numerical models of plume-ridge interaction and predicted patterns isotropic velocity and anisotropic seismic velocity structure. |

Maxim Ballmer (UH post-doc, Ph.D. 2009 ETH Zurich Switzerland) Dr. Ballmer is using high performance computing to simulate vigorous convection beneath hotspots such as Hawaii. These simulations are addressing questions regarding the spatial distribution of volcanism and seismic structure as imaged by the PLUME experiment. |
