Lauren Jozwiak

Dr. Lauren Jozwiak’s research focuses on using geologic observations to inform and support volcanological modeling of magma propagation processes. She is also interested in bubble formation processes and how the planetary volatiles gained during accretion can be traced using much later volcanic processes on a body. As a graduate student, Dr. Jozwiak was involved with the GRAIL science team, the MESSENGER Geology Discipline Group, and the MDIS instrument team. Her dissertation focused on shallow intrusive magmatism on terrestrial bodies and explored the physical mechanics of intrusion emplacement, geomorphologic analysis of created landforms, and remote sensing observations supporting the existence of these subsurface bodies.
