The folks at @ETH_EAPS gave me a PhD, now I'm a postdoc at @WHOI

Currently into Experimental Petrology and Tertiary Alpine plutons 🌋

After getting the degree from @ETH_EAPS earlier this year, the second PhD paper is now out in JPet! 🌋

The second paper of my PhD!

We show that Sr diffusion in plagioclase is slower than previously thought and similar to that of Ba. Applying our new diffusivities reveals long, consistent timescales for both elements—recording magma reservoir assembly!

@MassRMV I am trying to log in my account and keep getting the message that the information provided cannot be verified. Any chance you could help out?

Fun nights at the DESY synchrotron with @Maria_ADias and Felix Marxer!

urKREEP is a hypothetical component from the last dregs of lunar magma ocean crystallization but never found as a rock type. Ever wonder what it might be? with @charlier_b, @OlivierNamur, and coauthors, here is what we found in our new EPSL paper: 1/8

Excited to begin my postdoc journey at @WHOI with @ggaetani and @pbarry10! Looking forward to this new chapter!

I leave now Adamello mountain pictures, and some magma mingling with a youthful master student as scale (over 6 years ago)

And that’s it! We hope this work brings fresh insights for petrologists and arc geoscientists beyond the Adamello enthusiasts.

Check the full paper if you’re still curious and feel free to reach out! 8/9

Hopping on the Google scholar word cloud trend
Experiments and Adamello - is there a better combo?

[TEDxUGA @TEDxUGA]

🎙️ In his TEDxUGA 2023: Roots talk, Dr. Mattia Pistone explored the boundary between Earth's outer crust and the mantle and unraveled the foundations of the continents.

@schalteg Thanks, Urs! I'm not joining the field trip, but see you soon in Baveno! You will see these very nice dykes in the field trip! Safe travels

[Manu Pimenta Silva @manupsPetro]

My first, first-author paper is out 🌋 check it if you're into hydrous cumulate melting in arcs 🌋

@lsaper Thanks, Lee! Also looking forward to reading your next work
