Looking for students

Published:

In March of 2019 I’ll be joining the Department of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth as an assistant professor, so will be looking for future grad students!

Plate tectonics and basalt geochemistry

Published:

New paper on basalt geochemistry with implications for the prevalence of plate tectonics and arc-style magmatism (hydrous flux melting) throughout the preserved continental rock record. Read all about it here!
