Tinted detail of a photo: Wet sand on a beach rippled into many small wavy ridges, with a shallow channel of water behind and grassy land below sharp, dark, partly snow-dusted peaks under white clouds.

Valentina Armeni

Valentina Armeni is a PhD student at the University of Potsdam, working on the interplay between surface processes and magma propagation. Her research spans volcano-tectonic, morphotectonic, dyke propagation, and analogue modelling. For her PhD project, she is studying volcanism in diverse settings, including continental rifts (East African Rift System) and subduction zones (Chile). Her approach combines field geology with high-resolution topographic analysis to better constrain analogue and numerical models of magma pathways. You can reach out to her at armeni@uni-potsdam.de.
