About
Linda McMorrow is an experimental geochemist whose research focuses on the high-temperature behavior of volcanic gases and silicate melts, particularly the role of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) in magmatic systems. Her most-cited work, an experimental study of SO₂ reactions with silicate glasses and supercooled melts in the anorthite–diopside–albite system, provides critical insights into how volcanic gases interact with magma at high temperatures, informing models of volcanic degassing and atmospheric impacts. With 16 citations, this study is a foundational contribution to understanding sulfur speciation in silicate melts, directly relevant to volcanic hazard assessment and planetary geology. McMorrow’s meticulous experimental design bridges the gap between laboratory simulations and natural volcanic processes, offering quantitative data that has been widely used by petrologists and volcanologists. Her work exemplifies the power of controlled experiments to unravel complex gas-melt reactions, making her a key figure in the field of high-temperature geochemistry.
