Areas of Specialization
Research
My current research interests are focused in three main areas, all of which are related to the study of explosive volcanism at convergent plate boundaries. The three areas include: simulations of explosive eruption processes (tephra fallout and eruption column dynamics); the petrology and physical properties of magmas involved in explosive volcanism, and; the origin and characteristics of marine volcaniclastic sediments adjacent to island arcs and continental margins. I am presently working on research projects in Greece (Santorini volcano), Chile (Hudson volcano), Iceland, and the West Indies (Kick'em Jenny) volcano) where I use sub-bottom geophysical surveys with CHIRP and bubble pulser systems together with gravity and SCUBA coring and ROVs to investigate the nature of volcaniclastic deposits on the seafloor.
Teaching
My current teaching includes the undergraduate course OCG 131, Volcanoes and the Environment and a graduate course in volcaniclastic sedimentation, OCG545. I also participate in the core course OCG 540, Geological Oceanography.
Outreach
I am currently working on web-based virtual tours of Vesuvius volcano and the Laki fissure in Iceland for use in undergraduate geoscience teaching. The work is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation's Education Division
