Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Barber is an Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Geoscience at Washington and Lee University who blends field volcanology with geochemical and computational approaches to study subduction zone processes, magmatic metallogenesis, and natural hazard resilience. With a PhD from the University of Cambridge and nearly a decade of research experience, he leads the Volcanology and Igneous Petrology group while teaching solid-Earth courses and building a new research program. His toolkit spans melt-inclusion and mineral chemistry, Raman and electron probe methods, as well as Python, MATLAB, GIS, and relational databases—skills he has applied from Indonesian field campaigns to seafloor volcano expeditions. He has a track record of securing funding and permits for multinational work, practical hydrogeology experience with industry, and a knack for turning large geochemical datasets into actionable geological models.
