Research Interests
Kendra's research reflects her evolution from an igneous petrologist interested in lithosphere-scale tectonics to a thermochronologist who investigates the many magmatic, geomorphic, and tectonic processes that change rock temperatures—from wildfire to the eruption of large igneous provinces.
