Wade Aubin teaches courses in Physical Geology, Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology, Volcanology, and Geology of National Parks (coming soon). He incorporates student-centered activities and projects into his courses, and engages students with hands-on field experiences that complement and round out theoretical "classroom" knowledge.
Aubin's primary research interests are the driving mechanisms for volcanic eruptions, and igneous petrogenesis in long-lived volcanic provinces. His research has focused on the genesis of magmas, the formation of obsidian in volcanic conduits, the thermal evolution of pyroclastic density currents, and heterogenous bubble nucleation in silicic melts.
Aubin is actively recruiting students who are interested in conducting research projects with him in Volcanology and/or Igneous Petrology.
