Past | Austin
Blaser austin.blaser@gmail.com Graduated August 2016 Keywords: volcanism, Hawaii, two-phase flow, bubbles, solubility, numerical modeling, deformation Research Summary: My thesis focused on how magma is transported from depth to the surface at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. A great natural laboratory for this is Hawaii, where a long-lived eruption is ongoing (1983-present). | |

My other interest is to tie up these deep ocean sedimentary dynamics with changes in deposition pattern in shallow marine setting in times of extreme warmth, like PETM and early Eocene Hyperthermals. | |

I also put a particular effort into obtaining reliable model uncertainties and assessing the robustness of the features seen in those models. | |

Baykut Room Number: KWGL 210 7135604080 tanyel@rice.edu website Google Scholar Link Resume Fall 2018 Research Summary: My Master’s research will focus on reef upper slope morphologies in Belize and in particular focusing on identify drowned Terraces, Notches, and Overhangs and other morphological features, among them, drowned Barrier Reefs and Spurs and Groves. My initial research, starting in Spring 2019 semester and 2019 summer, will consist of processing the MBES data sets and then display the overall bathymetry of Lighthouse Reef upper slopes, develop some interpretation in terms of sea level fluctuations in the Late Quaternary mostly in the water depth range of a few m down to 150 m, and perhaps in the Plio-Early Quaternary for the depth range as deep as 400m. | |
