1) Hydration of volcanic glass in nature and experiments to understand fumaroles and as a tool for paleoclimate

2) Triple oxygen systematics of mud rocks through geologic history.

3) Ultra-low d18O, dD (-27.3 and -235 permil!) Paleoproterozoic rocks signifying isotopic proof of the Slushball Earth climate model

4) Volcanism of Yellowstone and Yellowstone Plume interacting with the crust. Long term and continuing effort. Currently Dylan Colon is about to present results of large scale thermomechanical modeling of magma genesis using Taras’s Gerya’s code.
Supervolcanoes – Link to the Scientific American article and frequently asked questions about large and small volcanic eruptions
