Programs
In line with the group's rationale, the members have identified priority areas of study, which would set the track for future researches of the group's faculty and graduate student members. The group is actively pursuing possible collaborations with local and foreign agencies and institutions for funding and knowledge exchange for these key projects. The topics are:
- crustal evolution in an arc-continent collision setting
- origin of high-potash and high-silica magmatic rocks in an island arc setting
- mantle dynamics and geodynamic evolution of Western Pacific
- origin and evolution of Philippine magmatic and hydrothermal deposits and metallogenic provinces
- volcanic architecture and facies analysis
- material science of magmatic products
- origin of large igneous provinces and intraplate volcanism
