Andres Libardo Sandoval Velasquez

Andres Libardo Sandoval Velasquez is a Researcher (GEOS-01/C) at the Department of Earth and Marine Sciences within the University of Palermo. His office hours are available on Wednesdays from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM at Via Archirafi 36, 3rd floor.

His research focuses on geochemistry, particularly in volcanology, isotope geochemistry, and noble gas analysis. Key areas include mantle dynamics, crust-mantle interactions, and fluid inclusion studies. Publications highlight topics such as helium and carbon isotopes in ocean island basalts, microscale CO2 analysis using Raman spectroscopy, and noble gas signatures in volcanic systems.

Selected recent studies examine the lithospheric mantle heterogeneity in Mexico, recycled crustal carbon in Canary Islands volcanoes, and fluid infiltration in the upper mantle. Methodologies emphasize noble gas isotopes, stable isotope analysis, and advanced spectroscopic techniques.
