Mapping the source of volcanic activity deep within Earth
Interview about our 2026 Science paper, which combines graph theory and AI to build a joint geophysical–geochemical map of the deep mantle beneath East Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Reading Greenland’s ice loss from sea level
Video interview about our project using machine learning and sea-level fingerprints to track Greenland ice loss.
Some volcanic hotspots are surprisingly cold

Are hotspots hotter than ridges?
A recorded seminar on how seismic tomography and mineral physics reveal the temperatures beneath volcanic hotspots and mid-ocean ridges.
Outreach
Why is Hawaii a volcano?
Explore Your Universe is the largest public science event in Los Angeles, with over 10,000 visitors each year. Since 2019 I led a booth on hotspots like Hawaii, with hands-on demonstrations using thermochromic liquid crystals and a lava lamp, plus online tutorials for K-12 students and up. The posts are hosted on my PhD group website, which I also built and maintained.
