Current Projects:
I am currently teaching various classes, workshops, and leading field trips. Additionally I am continuing research on various remote-sensing volcanology projects. These include working with Andy Harris and Harold Garbeil (HIGP/SOEST) on a thermo-rheological lava flow model (FLOWGO), working with the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) team which will send a close-up camera to Mars in 2012 on the “Curiosity” rover, and mapping Galapagos volcanoes with Mark Kurz of WHOI.
