Personal Statement

Volatiles in magmas exsolve, are getting redistributed and redissolved during late stages of eruptions. Water heterogeneities can be observed along common textural features and can give insight into the formation of these textures and the timescales, temperatures, viscosities of magmas at different stages of the volcanic eruption. I combine field observations, geophysical measurements, experiments and analysis of physical and chemical properties of natural magmas to understand the mechanisms of volcanic eruptions.
