BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH BACK
TO EXPLOSIVE VOLCANISM RESEARCH AT ASU
Kimberly
D. Genareau
RESEARCH
STATEMENT
Kim Genareau is currently
pursuing her Ph.D. in the School
of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University.
Her interests include geochemical and geophysical analyses of active and
dormant volcanic regions. She is currently developing a new method of
geochemical analysis using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to
examine igneous phenocrysts produced from
explosive volcanic eruptions. The development of this method involves
careful sample selection and preparation using a variety of optical
techniques and scanning electron microscopy. Geochemical information
obtained from SIMS analyses of igneous phenocrysts
will provide knowledge of late-stage mineral crystallization within the
volcanic conduit prior to and during eruption. This data can then be
utilized to constrain the physical parameters necessary to numerical models
of explosive volcanic eruptions, such as temperature and pressure.
