Interview on the Reef Tank

Water and volcanism! Read what I have to say about this and other matters in my interview in ‘The Reef Tank’.

I haven’t done too many interviews in my day, so this was kind of fun. Wander on over to The Reef Tank and you can read my interview – mostly about the role of water in its many forms on Earth in understanding magmatism and volcanism. Thanks to Ava from The Reef Blog for the interview!

And if you run a blog or website and want to interview me, feel free to drop me a line:
