Emma Horn

Dr. Emma Horn is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art (RLAHA) within the University of Oxford. She joined the institution in January 2023 and contributes to the CAVES Africa Project, focusing on tephrochronology to link archaeological and climate records in NW Africa.

• Research Affiliation: Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, University of Oxford
• Project Role: Geochemical characterization of Azores and Canary Islands volcanoes

Research Interests: Emma specializes in geochemistry, volcanology, and igneous petrology, with emphasis on tephrochronology and volcanic histories. Her work involves:

• Analyzing volcanic ash layers (tephra) for chronological correlation
• Studying magmatic systems through cumulate samples
• Investigating helium isotope variations in volcanic emissions

Article Trends: Recent publications highlight her expertise in transcrustal mush systems, geochemical fingerprinting of eruptions, and volcanic ash applications for dating. Key themes include Tenerife's magmatic evolution, Kilauea's gas emissions, and Canary Islands' volcanic history.

Additional Contributions: Emma developed datasets for her doctoral work and advanced monitoring technologies for magmatic gases during her early career stages.
