My research focuses on the dynamics of magmatic systems that feed volcanic eruptions. 听In particular I am interested in how the rate of magma injections in the Earth鈥檚 crust impacts the physical and chemical evolution of volcanoes. Understanding the conditions that govern volcano evolution is crucial in order to advance the interpretation of monitoring signals that could stem from volcanic unrest. 听
Currently, I am working on Volcan Xinant茅catl, a large long-lived stratovolcano in the highland of Central Mexico. I combine geological fieldwork and geochemical microanalysis with computational modeling in order to identify the factors that control the volcano's life cycle.
