Research Interests
At several locations around the world, Dr. Piccoli (with Prof. Philip Candela) is studying textures in shallow granites (sub-volcanic) systems. Granites emplaced at shallow levels in the crust display a vareity of features that are not observed in rocks emplaced deep in the crust. Although much of this work has been concentrated in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, a variety of other locations are being studied in this work. For more information press here |
