My research focuses on terrestrial and Martian experimental petrology.  The primary goal is to experimentally study the effects of the volatiles F, Cl, and Br on the de-gassing behavior of Martian compositions in an effort to connect magmatic degassing with the acid-fog model of the Martian atmosphere.  The research is done by poly-baric experiments in a piston-cylinder apparatus. My research also focuses on investigating terrestrial ferropicrites as analogs to the shergottite meteorites and their implications for Martian magmatic source region composition.
