We ride across the universe on a ball of rock tethered to a star. The volcanoes and mountains that shape the surface of our rocky craft originate in the Earth's mantle. Although the mantle is the Earth's largest resource, ultimately buffering the surface conditions of the planet, our knowledge of it is meager and largely inferential in nature. My research explores the nature of the Earth's mantle, and the processes within it that give rise to basaltic volcanism. My current research revolves around two issues:

我们骑着拴在一颗恒星上的岩石球穿越宇宙。塑造我们的岩石飞船表面的火山和山脉起源于地幔。虽然地幔是地球上最大的资源，最终缓冲了地球表面的条件，但我们对它的了解是贫乏的，而且基本上是推断性的。我的研究探索了地幔的本质，以及地幔内部产生玄武岩火山活动的过程。我目前的研究主要围绕两个问题：
