Present
Position
Professor
of Geophysics (C4), Institute
of Earth Sciences
Research
Interests
In general... Geodynamics and physics of melting
processes. In particular...
- Mantle convection with variable
viscosity and the interaction with the lithosphere.
- Evolution and
structure of mantle plumes, plume heads and hotspots .
- Melting and melt percolation processes in
a convecting mantle, Ascent of melts through the lithosphere and crust.
- Role of phase transitions on
subducting slabs and mantle convection.
- Dynamics of orogenic processes.
- Physical
properties of partially molten rocks
