About
My current research interests involve elucidating the influence of increased magma supply on intermediate spreading systems interacting with a hotspot or subduction zone, using the preserved seafloor as a high-fidelity record of previous magmatism. Additionally, I am interested in understanding the role of volcanic mound formation in the production of the upper oceanic crust on and off-axis at intermediate to fast spreading rates. Furthermore, I am interested in the along and across-axis abundance and size distributions of volcanic mounds within segments at variable scales of offset. I am also interested in determining any clustering patterns of volcanic mounds not associated with off-axis linear seamount chains.
