We seek students interested in experimental petrology and geochemistry. Active areas of research include the initial differentiation of planets (core formation, magma ocean crystallization, and outgassing of primordial atmospheres), deep cycling of volatiles (nitrogen, noble gases, and fluid-mobile elements in general), and exoplanet petrology. Student will gain experience in material synthesis and microanalytical techniques. Please contact Dr. Colin Jackson for additional information on specific research possibilities.
