Upcoming Lecture Information

Lynne J. Elkins Bio

Lynne Elkins is an igneous petrologist, geochemist, and computational modeler who investigates the origins of magma, the interactions between mantle dynamics (including partial melting) and plate tectonics, and the role of mantle heterogeneities in generating oceanic crust. She primarily explores these questions through the analysis of radiogenic and uranium-series isotopes, and through numerical calculations of partial melting.

The Guy F. Atkinson Endowed Distinguished Lecture Series is a free, public, weekly event to which we invite researchers, educators, and communicators from around the world. Here they present their unique and intriguing contributions to the field of Earth sciences. Our hope is to encourage meaningful discussion, challenge ideas, and to spark interest in the creation of a rich and diverse scientific culture that our students, staff, and faculty may carry out to the rest of the world.
