Basic Research Areas
Researchers of the Magma Systems Academic Group specialize on studies concerning magma composition and dynamics, as well as magma-related crustal processes. Some of the group's research interests are:
- magma geochemistry
- arc volcanism
- physical volcanology
- crustal evolution
- origin of large igneous provinces and how they affect crustal evolution and mass extinctions
- magmatic and hydrothermal processes
- explosive volcanism
- magma-water interaction
- volcanic gravity flows and volcanic hazards
- volcanic gases and plume dynamics
- evolution of volcanic lakes
- material science applications of rocks and minerals
