Sonoma Coast Field Trip @ GSA Penrose / IEC-15: What Insights Do Subduction Complexes Provide into Subduction Processes?

GSA Penrose/IEC-15 @California — at DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma Wine Country.

Franciscan at Tiburon Peninsula - Embracing a Brighter Future for Subduction Reserach with GSA Penrose 2025 / IEC-15 ⛰️🐍🌋🫨🪨

After two years in the making, we are heading to California 🍇 for this extraordinary meeting that we have been organizing. Approximately 100 subduction experts from around 20 countries will gather to shed light on our field and discuss the next steps. 🪨⛰️🌋🌎🫨

Very proud of my graduates, both award winners of our EMES research symposium and graduate excellence AY24-25 🎉🪨⚒️

So proud of our PTp graduate Anna Strickland, who is laser💥 GSZ metamorphic minerals at @UCSB LASS #AGeS_Grad @UNC_EMES

Hydrology Paper of the Day @unc-emes.bsky.social on water in areas of serpentinized mantle: the Andean Raspas Complex in Ecuador; examining the geochemistry of fluid circulation in dehydration of serpentinite occurring during metamorphism; and linking fluids, geochemistry and earthquakes.

We are thrilled for our own Dr. Kennet Flores on winning an NSF CAREER award!

With this grant, he and his lab will continue working on fluid migration and fluid-rock interactions at subduction interfaces.

Thank you 🙏🏼, so good to know Ananya Malik also got it 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you 🙏🏼 for your support and advice

Thank you 🙏🏼,

I am honored to announce that I am the recipient of a NSF CAREER Award for investigating subduction zone fluids, scale of fluid migration, and fluid-rock interactions. The educational component includes activities for NC Latino youth & K-12 Earth/Environmental Science teachers @unc-emes.bsky.social
