Igneous petrology and geochemistry; thermodynamic models of mantle melting; integration of melting with geodynamic models.

My research interests are described in more detail on the MAGMA website. That site now hosts the download page and forum for alphaMELTS (formerly adiabat_1ph), our flexible text-menu based front-end to the MELTS, pMELTS, and pHMELTS models.

Ed Stolper's mantle melting page describes a couple of the binary phase diagram movies that I made. An interactive movie server (beta) which allows the user to pick movies from many different binary systems, with a variety of plot types etc. is available at the MAGMA website.

My personal page is here.
