Michael Brown
Department of Geology, University of Maryland
My collaboration relates to geodynamic modelling, particularly in respect of geological constraints on the evolution of mantle convection, secular change in the mechanisms and rates of production and recycling of continental crust, the cause and timing of the stabilization of large-scale subduction and the emergence of plate tectonics, and factors controlling the secular evolution of plate tectonics during the Proterozoic and Phanerozoic

My collaboration is to use forsteritic olivine and their Cr-spinel inclusions in primitive arc magmas to test various mechanisms of primary arc melt formation form in the mantle wedge as basis for calculating elemental fluxes through volcanic arcs.
