معرفی
Dr. Alice MacDonald is a Researcher at the School of Natural Sciences, University of Tasmania. She holds a PhD from the University of Queensland and a BSc (Advanced with Honours) from the Australian National University. Her research focuses on igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, and magma processes. Key areas include clinopyroxene zoning dynamics, magma chamber evolution, and thermobarometric modeling. She has contributed to studies on eruptions at Mt. Etna and La Palma, emphasizing magma undercooling and crystal-melt interactions.
Her work integrates experimental petrology with field observations, addressing fundamental questions about magmatic systems. Notable collaborations include investigations into discrete magma injections during volcanic eruptions and the application of clinopyroxene zoning as a proxy for dynamic processes. Her research has been widely disseminated in top journals like GCA, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, and Journal of Petrology.
