Research Interests

Dr. Bowles is interested in how the Earth’s magnetic field varies over time; and understanding how and how well magnetic minerals record these variations; and using these “rock records” of changing magnetic fields and magnetic properties to interpret volcanic processes. Recent projects include documenting variations in Earth’s field intensity in pyroclastic flows in the western U.S.; using recorded field variations to constrain eruptive processes on the Galapagos Spreading Center and the Juan de Fuca Ridge; and creating synthetic igneous rocks in the lab to better understand the magnetic recording process in rocks from Earth and Mars.
