We are a research group at Arizona State University that studies all things magma. How it forms, how it evolves during ascent through the Earth's crust, what causes it to erupt, how long these processes take, how magmas form on exoplanets and much more! We conduct this research using a combination of field work at volcanoes, high pressure and temperature experiments to reverse engineer magma in the lab, laboratory analyses of past eruptions or experiments, and geochemical modeling.
We need your help to keep doing our research -
