Biography
Emma Tomlinson is assistant Professor in Igneous Petrology at Trinity College Dublin. Her research interests include the elemental and isotopic analysis of volcanic tephra layers and their use both as chronostratigraphic markers in sedimentary successions and as records of the composition-frequency-magnitude relations of past volcanic eruptions at high-risk volcanoes. Emma also works on the formation and evolution of the cratonic mantle and the storage and transport of volatiles, particularly the halogens, in the Earths mantle. Emma currently supervises 4 postgraduate students at TCD and co-supervises one PhD student at TCD funded through iCRAG in the Raw Materials Spoke.
