Benjamin R. PhillipsDirector's Postdoctoral Fellow EducationPhD Geosciences, Princeton University, 2005 Primary Research InterestsMagma dynamics, flood basalt generation, global mantle convection, and supercontinent cycles. Most of my work is computational in nature, but I also enjoy venturing into the field whenever possible (above, sampling lava on Hawaii and crossing a glacier in Spitsbergen). See the related link above right for a more detailed description of my research. Current HighlightsSee the Discovery Channel News story highlighting a paper on work with N. Coltice, H. Bertrand, Y. Ricard, and P. Rey. The paper, which addresses large-scale warming of the mantle at the origin of flood basalts over supercontinents, appears in the May, 2007 issue of Geology (Coltice2007.pdf). |
