  Mid-ocean ridges are the longest continuous chain of volcanoes and constitute 70% of the yearly erupted material on Earth. My Ph.D. research was focused on the study of submarine volcanoes which form adjacent to mid-ocean ridges. My approach was two-pronged: (1) I utilized lava and crystal chemistry with computational modelling in order to understand changes in magma from formation in the mantle to eruption on the seafloor, and (2) I performed analogue caldera collapse experiments in the lab to better understand the physical behaviour of the volcanic edifice during magma withdrawal.I was fortunate to participate in a scientific cruise to the Taney Seamounts in August 2010, you can read about the scientific expedition in the following cruise blog: http://www3.mbari.org/expeditions/Taney10/background.htm
