Mantle Geochemistry as Reflected in Volcanic Rocks Regional and Local Short-Lived Isotope Variations in Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts. Regional and Local Long-Lived Isotope Variations in Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts. Formation and Evolution of Oceanic Plateaus and Continental Flood Basalts. Quaternary Geochronology Geochronology and Processes of Mid-Ocean Ridge Volcanism. Geochronology of Coral Deposits and the Hawaiian Sea level Record. Active Processes Volcanology Timescales of pre and syn eruptive magmatic processes compositionally bimodal volcanism Environmetal Geochemistry Natural and contaminant sources of Pb in the Hawaiian environment. U sources and mobility in the Hawaiian environment. Natural Fluxes and Effects of Metals/Metalloids from Erupting Volcanoes.
Mission To explore the geochemistry and chronology of natural volcanologic, sedimentologic and oceanographic phemomena, as well as the effects of human activities on the natural environment, through the use of isotope geochemistry
