Luan Heywood

I am a PhD student studying subduction zone magmatism (Fall 2023). Most recently, I worked as a technician on the research drillship JOIDES Resolution and as a Research Associate at the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) at Texas A&M University. I hold a B.S. in Geoscience from the University of Iowa (2014) and a M.S. Geology from Western Washington University (2018) where my work focused on marine tephras from the Izu-Bonin rear-arc region. I serve on the Steering Committee of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Geosciences (AAPIiG), a new affinity group for AAPIs in the earth science fields.
