Biography

I am interested in using petrology and geochemistry to explore magma storage in a variety of systems. I recently finished my M.S. at Western Washington University investigating magma storage at Koma Kulshan (Mt. Baker) through mineral-melt thermobarometry and thermodynamic modelling. At Cornell I am calibrating Li diffusion in feldspar to use as a crystal clock to time magmatic processes.
