'The Deadly 1868 eruption of Mauna Loa, Hawai'i: Lessons from a crystal cargo' (PhD)
Main supervisor: Prof Marie Edmonds (University of Cambridge)
Co-supervisory team: Prof John Maclennan (University of Cambridge), Asst Prof Penny Wieser (University of California, Berkeley), Dr Kendra J. Lynn (USGS - Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Hilo)
The main objective is the petrological and geochemical characterisation of collected lava samples to construct a framework of understanding to explain the 1868 magma’s origin and what the crystals may tell us about the structure of magma storage regions in Mauna Loa
Funding: Cambridge Climate Life and Earth (C-CLEAR) NERC DTP studentship
