Isabel M. Fendley

Welcome!

I joined Penn State University as an Assistant Research Professor in fall 2023.

I use geochemical (Hg concentration, C, S, O stable isotope composition) and statistical techniques to probe the relationship between volcanic eruptions and environmental change on all timescales: from Large Igneous Province eruptions to recent eruptions. 

In 2019, I was a guest on the AGU podcast "Third Pod From the Sun" to talk about Mt. Etna and volcano-caused climate change during the early Roman Empire. Check it out!
