Research Interests
My main fields of research are igneous petrology, volcanology, and terroir. At the moment, I am focused on four main broad research projects: the origin of arc magmas, the explosive behavior of silicic lava domes, the formation of subglacial volcanoes, and the unique terroir of volcanic soils. At the moment, Dr. Cameron is focused on four main research projects: the origin of arc magmas, the explosive behavior of silicic lava domes, the nature of glaciovolcanism, and the rare explosive eruptions of Mt. Etna, Sicily. Strives to link volatile contents in magma to eruptive style.
