Dr. Recchuiti joined GES in the fall of 2026 after completing her PhD at North Carolina State University. Dr. Recchuiti's research interests span all forms of volcanology, from rheology and geophysical behavior of basaltic lavas on rocky planets to geochemistry and volatile behavior in Hawaiian and lunar glass beads. Her research employs a multifaceted approach that combines fieldwork, remote sensing, experiments, and laboratory analyses. Her current research combines the rheological behavior of lavas with geochemical analyses to investigate the evolution of basaltic lavas on rocky planets.
