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.
New paper from the Petrology and Tectonic processes Lab at UNC!🌋
Grad student Damián Donoso-Tapia just published the second first-author paper of his PhD in Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

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.
