Welcome!We’re glad you’ve arrived at the McGill Volcanology Research Group’s homepage, home of the MAGMA SHEEP (McGill's Awesome Group of Magma Aficionados Studying Highly Explosive Eruptive Processes). Check us out and see some of the cool things we’re doing.
What we like: pumice, dacite, obsidian, explosive volcanoes, andesite, volcanic glass, volcanic gas, lava domes, rhyolite, melt inclusions, basalt, magma experiments, any kind of volcanic deposit. What we don’t like: not much… we like it all! Check out the PEOPLE tab to see what cool research our members are up to!
