Collaborative Research: Late Cenozoic volcanism and glaciation at Minna Bluff, Antarctica

Volcanological and geomorphological study and geochemical data on alteration minerals in hyaloclastites provide important information for the reconstruction of paleoenvironmental conditions and climate models. In terms of broader impacts, this project involved graduate and undergraduate students in an exciting field expedition, followed by laboratory work using state-of-the-art techniques for geochemical analyses. Research findings have been disseminated at national and international meetings as well as community outreach and educational venues.
