My Research
I am interested in the physical, chemical and temporal evolution of聽silicic聽magmatic systems and the generation of large聽explosive eruptions. I am currently investigating the Takidani Pluton in Central Japan, one of the youngest exposed plutons in the world, which is associated with volcanic activity.聽This is a unique聽location to study the evolution of magmatic systems in the upper crust from a petrological and聽structural point of view. I am using mineral and melt chemistry to constrain the relationship聽between plutonic and聽volcanic realms. This will allow us to better understand the magmatic processes that lead to the generation and built-up of large caldera-forming eruptions and the timescales of such processes.
Research Interests
- Crustal magmatism and generation of caldera-forming eruptions
- Chemical, physical and temporal evolution of magmatic reservoirs
- Magma transport, emplacement and ascent
- Isotope geochemistry and geochronology
- Quantification of rock fabrics in magmatic systems聽
