Research interests :

My research focuses on understanding magma degassing from magma at depth to the surface. I am interested in integrating both dissolved and exsolved volatile behaviour during magmatic processes (e.g. differentiation, degassing). I have studied the exsolution path of magmatic volatiles by combining 1) Volatile (H₂O, CO₂, S, Cl, F) concentrations dissolved in melt inclusions and in the groundmass glasses. 2) Volcanic gas composition (plume or fumaroles) and 3) Volcanic SO₂ flux. The techniques used to measure gas compositions and fluxes are of particular interest for gas monitoring.
