I am honored to announce that I received a U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER Award for investigating subduction zone fluids, scale of fluid migration, and fluid-rock interactions. The educational component includes activities for NC Latino youth & K-12 Earth/Environmental Science teachers UNC Dept of Earth, Marine & Environmental Sciences

UNC -Petrology & Tectonic processes (PTp) Lab paper alert 🚨- Record of de-serpentinization and re-serpentinization of an exhumed slab sliver: Implications for fluid circulation in subduction zones 🪨💦🌋 #UNC #Serpentinites #Subduction #Andes #Ecuador sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are thrilled for our own Dr. Kennet Flores on winning an NSF CAREER award! With this grant, he and his lab will continue working on fluid migration and fluid-rock interactions at subduction interfaces.

Thank you U.S. National Science Foundation UNC-Chapel Hill UNC College of Arts and Sciences

So proud of our PTp graduate Anna Strickland, who is laser💥 GSZ metamorphic minerals at UCSB LASS #AGeS_Grad UNC Dept of Earth, Marine & Environmental Sciences

Very proud of my graduates, both award winners of our EMES research symposium and graduate excellence AY24-25 🎉🪨⚒️

After two years in the making, we are heading to California 🍇 for this extraordinary meeting that we have been organizing. Approximately 100 subduction experts from around 20 countries will gather to shed light on our field and discuss the next steps. 🪨⛰️🌋🌎🫨

Excited to join #GSAConnects2025 with the UNC Dept of Earth, Marine & Environmental Sciences team! EMES is proud to showcase research on subduction, orogens, climate, uplift, and more! Come find us, connect, and be part of the conversation! 🔥🗻 #GeoTwitter #Petrology #Subduction

Honored to have given two invited talks at #GSAConnects2025 — one on the exhumation of high-pressure rocks in the Andes, and another reporting on the Penrose 2025 Conference on Eclogites. Grateful for the discussions, colleagues, and energy of this amazing community! 🌎⛰️🪨

🌎⛰️🪨 Great second day at #GSAConnects2025! Inspiring moments at the GSA International Division ceremony, strong UNC representation, and wonderful exchanges with our Cordilleran and Mexican colleagues. Science and community across borders! 🌍
