Patricia Rodríguez Batista

Patricia will test investigate with numerical models if we can learn (1) how tectonic settings such as subduction, delamination, collision, and extension control the pathways of mantle fluids; (2) What roles mantle plumes and instabilities play in driving fluid flow in the absence of plate movement; and to simulate these processes to better understand their dynamics and predict their impacts in real-world tectonic settings?
