Joshua Shea

Dr. Joshua Shea is a Research Staff member in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on mantle processes under sub- and super-solidus conditions, particularly investigating mantle-derived melts and carbon reservoirs through analytical geochemistry and high-pressure experiments. He utilizes programming tools (Python, R) and studies olivine-hosted melt inclusions to understand mantle dynamics.

Research Interests:

• Igneous petrology and mantle-derived magmas
• High-pressure experimental methods and geochemical analysis
• Planetary science, including early Earth evolution and magmatic processes

Affiliations include collaborations with Professors John Maclennan and Oliver Shorttle. No specific grants or awards are mentioned in the provided text. His work is affiliated with the Bullard Laboratories within the Department of Earth Sciences.
