Research Interests:Petrology and geochemistry of primitive basalts, including: origin and differentiation of Steens/ continental flood basalts, production and petrochemical evolution of continental arc basalts, mantle sources and generation of primitive basalt, as well as petrology/geochemistry of the mantle.
