Description: Dr. Amanda Clarke, Professor at Arizona State University's School of Space and Earth Exploration (SESE), will be speaking about her work in the Valles Caldera in New Mexico. Dr. Clarke will be speaking to the history of the caldera and the larger, global implications for caldera eruptions.
We will also be hearing from three of Dr. Clarke's PhD students: Jackie Giblin, PhD student in SESE - pumice fall analysis at the Valles; Jessie Bersson, PhD candidate in SESE - secondary explosions from the Banco Bonito lava flow at the Valles; Jisoo Kim, PhD student in SESE - post-caldera explosive eruptions on Vulcano Island (1500s – 1800s)
Bio: Dr. Amanda Clarke holds a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering and a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy from Notre Dame University as well as a Ph.D. in Geosciences from Pennsylvania State University. She is currently a professor at Arizona State University's School of Space and Earth Exploration as well as an Associated Researcher with The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Pisa, Italy. Her research focuses on the physics of volcanic eruptions, especially short-lived, highly-unsteady explosive eruptions and dome-building systems, and fluid mechanics of multiphase volcanic systems, including viscous magmas and high-Reynolds number gas/solid mixtures.
