معرفی
Colin Jackson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Tulane University's School of Science & Engineering. He leads the High Temperature and Pressure (HiTaP) Laboratory, researching chemical reactions governing planetary evolution under extreme conditions using experimental techniques. His work focuses on geochemical processes during planet formation and differentiation.
Dr. Jackson holds a Ph.D. from Brown University (2014) and a B.S. from the University of California, Santa Cruz (2008). His primary research interests include:
- Solid Earth geochemistry and petrology
- High-pressure experimental techniques
- Planetary formation and evolution
- Magma ocean dynamics
- Volatile element distribution in terrestrial planets
His recent publications demonstrate a focus on geochemical modeling of planetary formation processes, experimental studies of element partitioning under extreme conditions, and interpretation of lunar geological data. Research trends include magma ocean crystallization, core-mantle differentiation, volatile cycling, and noble gas systematics.
The HiTaP Laboratory provides research opportunities for students interested in experimental planetary science. Dr. Jackson encourages student involvement in high-pressure synthesis experiments and geochemical analysis techniques.
