Loÿc VanderKluysen, an assistant professor in the Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science at Drexel University, will give a talk titled "It’s a Trap! Origin, emplacement and impact of the Deccan large igneous province" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 3, 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
VanderKluysen received his Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from the University of Hawaii in 2008. He uses multidisciplinary approaches to study the entirety of the volcanic system, from magma generation, to transport, and emplacement. He is particularly interested in the cyclicity of volcanic eruptions, volcanic degassing processes, and large igneous provinces. His research commonly uses a wide array of methods, ranging from volcano monitoring and thermal remote sensing, to high-temperature geochemistry, igneous petrology, and experimental volcanology.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
