Nathan Andersen
My role at the Cascades Volcano Observatory is to conduct basic research into the processes that prestage and catalyze volcanic eruptions. My work focuses on the generation, transport, and accumulation of magma in reservoirs beneath active volcanos, and how these reservoirs evolve, destabilize, and erupt.
