Biography
Dr. Cannatelli is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences where she teaches courses in mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.Her research is focused on the understanding of how the Earth´s internal processes contribute to producing magmatism and volcanism. She investigates the roles that volatiles play in melting, crystallization, degassing, style and frequency of volcanic eruptions by combining melt inclusions studies and thermodynamic modeling.

Research Interests
Keywords: Volcanology, Melt Inclusions, Environmental GeochemistryMy background is broad and encompasses a number of the various areas that fall under the heading of Geosciences including petrology, geochemistry and volcanology. My research aims to model magmatic systems in active volcanic areas and understand how the Earth’s internal processes contribute to producing magmatism and volcanism. By combining geochemical data and thermodynamic modeling, classical mineralogy and experimental petrology study on silicate melt inclusions (SMIs), I focus my studies in the role that volatiles play in melting, crystallization, degassing, style and frequency of volcanic eruptions. Areas of research include Italy (Vesuvius, Phlegraean Fields, and Aeolian Islands), the Azores and Chile (Central and Southern Volcanic Zone).
The main aim of using SMIs is to trace the evolution of a rock from its source to the surface. While, a whole rock represents a final product of a series of processes occurring over a wide span of time, SMIs, ideally, represent a snapshot of a specific time within the time-span of the rock formation. For this reason, SMIs record information otherwise lost during subsequent processes of the rock formation. One of the most important pieces of information that are lost during crystallization and migration to the surface of magmas are the volatile concentration of early undegassed melt and the oxygen fugacity (fO2) of the mantle source region. In my studies I use major/trace element and pre-eruptive volatile contents of SMIs to build thermodynamic models and understand the systematic variations in slab input and the role played by location of arc volcanism. It is of paramount importance to better constrain the oxygen fugacity conditions at which magmas are sourced in the mantle wedge of subduction zones. Olivine-hosted SMIs are a useful tool to evaluate the subsequent post-melting redox history of magmas during storage, differentiation, and ascent.
