Coombs, Michelle

Michelle has been a Research Geologist for USGS-AVO in Anchorage since 2004. Her work includes research on a wide variety of topics in geology, petrology, and geochemistry, as well as geologic mapping and hazards assessment. Recent and current research interests include (1) timing and generation of explosive silicic eruptions at Alaskan volcanoes, especially Augustine and Hayes; (2) refined edifice mapping and eruptive history of Akutan, Spurr, and Redoubt volcanoes; and (3) combining petrologic study with detailed eruption chronologies to elucidate processes of magma generation and eruption triggering at dome-forming volcanoes such as Redoubt and Augustine. From March 2016 to May 2023, Michelle was the Scientist-in-Charge for AVO. Prior to 2004, she worked for the USGS in Menlo Park, CA, where her research focused on the geochemistry, petrology, and submarine geology of Hawaiian volcanoes.
