Jason Phipps-Morgan

Jason Phipps-Morgan is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the College of Engineering, Cornell University. His work bridges geodynamics, computational modeling, and Earth system processes, with a focus on large-scale mantle and crustal dynamics.

Research Interests: His research centers on geodynamic modeling of mantle convection, particularly the role of a plume-fed asthenosphere, as well as fluid and melt migration in subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges. He develops advanced 3D parallel computational tools to simulate highly nonlinear interactions between deformation, fluid flow, and chemical reactions.

His recent publications reflect a strong trend in multiscale, multiphysics numerical modeling applied to fundamental Earth processes, including hydrothermal circulation, carbon sequestration, and bend-faulting in subducting plates.
