Research Description
Ben is an assistant professor at the City University of New York whose research focuses on how volcanoes can impact Earth's climate and biota. His research group is hunting for rare glass inclusions in Deccan Traps crystals that preserve snapshots of the Deccan magmas and the gases they released. This information will then be used as an input to global climate model simulations of the K-Pg world.
