Laboratory-magma to investigate explosive styles of volcanic eruptions

Written By Kaustubh Thirumalai

WHAT: In this project, you will work with magma and magma analogs in the lab to understand how crystals affect magmatic flow conditions and lead to explosive basaltic eruptions.

WHERE: This project will involve lab work in the Geosciences department at the University of Arizona.
