This type of cooperative study is essential if we are to be able to predict volcanic eruptions beter in the future. My research takes me to the active flows on Kilauea and Mauna Loa and into submersibles to examine the submarine flanks of these volcanoes and their young submarine sister, Loihi. Geochemical Evolution of Loihi Seamount, an Infant Hawaiian Volcano. A listing of my publications is available on line. I taught the undergraduate field geology course for 10 years, and have taught Structural geology.
Teaching is what makes working at a university fun and exciting.
