Volcanic and plutonic rocks have a vast range in chemical and textural composition, but the exact mechanism by which this is generated is not yet always clear. I want to determine the respective roles of magma-mixing and crystal fractionation in the generation of volcanic rocks. I will do this by dissecting solidified rocks and looking at their chemical composition and texture. Secondly, I want to see if bubbles can play an important role in the generation of magma-mixing and crystal fractionation. Bubble-crystal interaction is an important industrial process, but has been little examined in a geological context.

火山岩和深成岩在化学和结构组成上有很大的差异，但其产生的确切机制尚不清楚。我想确定岩浆混合和晶体分馏在火山岩生成中各自的作用。我将通过解剖凝固的岩石并观察它们的化学成分和质地来做到这一点。其次，我想看看气泡是否在岩浆混合和晶体分馏的产生中发挥重要作用。气泡-晶体相互作用是一个重要的工业过程，但很少在地质背景下进行研究。
