Elisabeth Widom is the Janet & Elliot Baines Bicentennial Professor of Geology and Environmental Earth Science at Miami University's Institute for the Environment and Sustainability. Her research focuses on trace elements and isotope systems to study magmatic processes in ocean islands (Azores, Canary Islands), continental settings (Nevada, Madagascar), and environmental contamination (Ohio). She has advised over 20 graduate students and postdocs since 2015. She holds a Ph.D. from UC Santa Cruz (1991) and an A.B. from Cornell (1984).
Her current grants include NSF funding for volcanic field studies in SW Utah ($349k), Revillagigedo Archipelago magmatism ($352k), and collaborative isotopic studies in Mexico ($212k). She also co-led a $711k MRI grant for advanced ICP-MS instrumentation.
- Teaching: Volcanology, Isotope Geochemistry, Geochemical Modeling
- Key Research Areas: Monogenetic volcanism, mantle source heterogeneity, and nuclear forensics
- Lab Facilities: Access to Multi-Collector ICP-MS for high-precision isotopic analysis
Recent work includes studies on Paricutin volcano's magma dynamics, Madagascar continental volcanism, and Pb pollution source quantification in urban-industrial zones.
