I am the UC President's postdoctoral fellow. I did my PhD at Oklahoma State University where I used field sedimentologic and structural, and remote sensing techniques to constrain the geodynamic evolution of an exhumed IntraCONtinental Sag (ICONS) basin.

Currently, I am doing a (U-Th)/He dating combined with paleomagnetic constraints to provide the necessary data for the testing of mechanisms for large scale exhumation following Neoproterozoic collisional orogenesis in the Arabian-Nubian Shield. Particularly,...

I am an experimental high-pressure mineral physicist. My current research pursuits involve chemical mixing (and de-mixing) in planetary interiors and melting of materials at high pressures. I employ laser-heated diamond anvil cells and a variety of in-situ and ex-situ techniques to characterize material properties in order to understand planetary interiors.

Annika Dechert

Host: Penny Wieser

Annika is a postdoc originally from Wyoming. She attended undergrad at Occidental College and then completed her PhD at the University of Oregon. At UO, she completed an interdisciplinary study of the Three Sisters Volcanic Complex in central OR to better understand the active magmatic system. In the VIBE lab, she is growing her volcanology toolkit by studying melt inclusions from Glacier Peak and South Sister volcanoes in the Cascades to better understand their magma storage. Outside of the lab, you can find Annika...
