Meet the Team
The CMaS Facility was formed with backing from Cornell University. Dr. Esteban Gazel and Dr. Megan Holycross are the PIs of this facility while Lyndsey Fisher (MS) is the primary operator and manager of the lab space. They work together to high-quality data for academic research and advancement as well as industry needs.
Esteban Gazel
Co-PI
Associate professor
Gazel works on solving the puzzles of the Earth by studying processes in the interior of our planet that produce magma and volcanoes.
Megan Holycross
Co-PI
Assistant Professor
Megan uses controlled laboratory experiments to develop new geochemical tools to quantify the rates (time) and conditions (temperature, pressure, redox state) of magmatic and metamorphic processes.
Lyndsey Fisher
Research Support specialist
Lyndsey operates and maintains the facilities daily. She schedules and trains users on the instrumentation, operates the LA-ICP-MS, reduces data, develops new operational methods, and manages the CMAS Facility.
Hours of Operation
MON – FRI
