Boise State University
I am an assistant professor at Boise State University in Idaho. My primary research focus is on the formation and evolution of magma at mid-ocean ridges and ocean islands. For this project, I will be measuring the major and trace element concentrations, as well as radiogenic isotope ratios in lava samples we collect along the ridge axis in an effort to understand how melting and crystallization vary deep beneath the seafloor.
