Research summary
AI-generated

Madeline Lewis studies volcanic and igneous systems, focusing on how magma is stored, evolves, and erupts, as documented through the chemistry of minerals like zircon, feldspar, apatite, and biotite in rocks from calderas and mafic intrusions in Nevada, California, and Wyoming. The work also extends to related topics such as rare earth element deposits, iron ore mineralization, and the tectonic history of ancient continental crust. This research combines detailed field-based geochemistry and petrography (the study of rock composition and texture) to reconstruct the thermal and chemical history of magma systems.

Publication output has been variable over the past decade, with a notable surge in conference abstracts and papers in 2023 and especially 2025 following a quieter period in 2019 and 2024.
