SavoieMontBlanc (France). Her research focuses on modeling magma chambers and melt reservoirs to understand, for example, the condi tions of magma chamber formation, magma differentiation, or plu tonic-volcanic relationships.Mutsuki Aoya is a fieldbased structural geologist mainly studying the formation and exhumation mechanisms of metamorphic rocks.For this pur pose, he applies multidisciplinary studies including petrology, geochronology, and thermal modeling.His main research targets have been in south western Japan and southern Tibet, which are rep resentatives of subduction and collisiontype regions, respectively.He worked at the Geological Survey of Japan (AIST) for eight years and has made several geological maps in and around the Shikoku Mountains in southwestern Japan.He is now at Tokushima University (Japan), located in the eastern part of Shikoku Island.
