The students develop and learn a diverse suite of tools to address these systems: numerical and laboratory experiments, geological and geophysical measurements, and the theoretical foundations of physical chemistry and continuum mechanics. All students are encouraged to do fieldwork and to develop transport models in a sensible geological context.<br> <br> <hr width="100%" size="2"> <div align="center"><b><big><big><a name="Projects"></a>Current Projects</big></big></b> </div> <hr width="100%" size="2" align="center"> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.ess.washington.edu/Program/physpet/ppfishcanyon.html">Numerical simulation of silicic crystal mush rejuvenation by gas sparging.</a><br> <i>Olivier Bachmann and George Bergantz</i><br> <i> </i><br> <a href="http://students.washington.edu/gsw/wbcresearch.html">Wavelet based correlation (WBC) of zoned plagioclase of Chaos Crags, Lassen Volcanic National Park.</a><br> <i>Glen Wallace and George Bergantz</i><br> <i> </i><br> <a href="http://students.washington.edu/cheversi/ppenclave.html">Magma mixing in Southern Oregon</a><br> <i>Mary Beth Cheversia and George Bergantz</i><br> <i> </i><br> <a href="http://students.washington.edu/dufek/ppdike.html">A stochastic model of diking in the middle crust</a><br> <i>Josef Dufek and George Bergantz</i><br> <i> </i><br> <a href="http://students.washington.edu/jloetter/">Sedimentary structures in banded granodiorite: Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, Sierra Nevadas, California.</a><br> <i> James Loetterle and George Bergantz</i><br> <i> </i> </div> <p align="center"> </p> <div align="center"> </div> <hr width="100%" align="center"> <div align="center"> <a name="Faculty"></a><b><font size="+2">Faculty</font></b> <br> </div> <hr width="100%" align="center"> <div align="center"> <br> </div> <div align="center"><b><a href="http://www.ess.washington.edu/People/Faculty-bio/bergantz-bio.html">George Bergantz</a></b> <br> <i>bergantz@u.washington.edu</i></div> <p align="center"><b><u><a href="http://www.aa.washington.edu/faculty/breidenthal/">Robert Breidenthal</a></u></b> <br> <i>breident@aa.washington.edu</i> </p> <div align="center"> </div> <p align="center"> </p> <div align="center"> </div> <hr width="100%" align="center"> <div align="center"><a name="Graduate%20Students"></a><b><font size="+2">Graduate Students</font> (* = co-advised)</b> <br> </div> <hr width="100%" align="center"> <div align="center"> <br> </div> <div align="center"><b><a href="http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volgrp/gradstudents.html#alain">Alain Burgisser*</a></b> <br> <i>University of Alaska, Fairbanks</i> <br> <i>Alain@gi.alaska.edu</i> <br> Sedimentation process in density currents and physical mixing in a volcanic conduit. </div> <p align="center"><b><a href="http://students.washington.edu/cheversi">Mary Beth Cheversia</a></b> <br> <i>cheversi@u.washington.edu</i> <br> Isotopic and geochemical studies of mixing in plutonic rocks. </p> <div align="center"> </div> <p align="center"><b><a href="http://students.washington.edu/dufek">Josef Dufek</a></b> <br> <i>dufek@u.washington.edu</i> <br> Experimental, field and theoretical studies of mixing. </p> <div align="center"> </div> <p align="center"><a href="http://students.washington.edu/jloetter"><b>James Loetterle</b></a> <br> <i>jloetter@u.washington.edu</i>  <br> sedimentation and viscous gravity currents in granites (starting Aug.
