| Research Interests - Mineralogy of alkaline rocks The relationship of continental rifting to alkaline magmatism Phase relations and stability fields in igneous and metamorphic systems Crystallography and chemistry of feldspars, feldspathoids, and pyroxenes, especially alkaline species Heat transfer and fluid dynamics properties of cooling magma bodies Mineralogy and igneous petrology of alkaline plutonic complexes |
Academic History - Peter is part of the Petrology group at UNO, working with Dr. William "Skip" Simmons, Professor of Mineralogy at UNO. |
Hometown and Hobbies - I grew up, the fifth eldest of thirty-seven brothers, on the Crimean Peninsula, where my family earned a meagre living fashioning crude windchimes out of discarded sturgeon scales from the local caviar cannery. No, that's not right . . . I really grew up in the Amish country of southeastern Pennsylvania. Really! |
