Geophysics and Python enthusiast 🌏🐍 Postdoc in the EarthByte group at Sydney Uni fusing tectonic reconstructions with mantle geochemistry to explain 🌋
In time for #EarthScienceWeek our paper published in Nature Communications today explores how mantle plumes can act as an anchor ⚓️ and impede spreading ridge migration.
BUT if the plume weakens, it can de-anchor from the ridge and facilitate rapid ridge migration.

1st day of orientation week tomorrow. If this is anything to go by, it’s going to be one to remember!

Very nice to host @geoniette.bsky.social at EarthByte as part of our Sydney Uni 🤝 Glasgow Uni Ignition Grant on how variations in subduction angle affect volcanism and porphyry copper formation. A great start the year with lots of productive conversations and collaborations!

The jacarandas are incredible in Sydney 💜 (even towards the end of their season)

You know you’re on a geology field trip when the view takes a back seat #subice2023
