Jennifer M. Jackson
William E. Leonhard
Professor of Mineral Physics
Seismological Laboratory, Caltech
Jennifer Jackson's research explores the depths of Earth's interior. From the central inner core to plume-roots at the core-mantle boundary to deep hydrogen cycling and plumbing architecture underneath active volcanic systems.
Deep Earth
Processes in the deep Earth play a crucial role in shaping a planet’s internal dynamics, surface activity, and long-term evolution.
“Water” Transport
The transport of hydrogen (“water”) controls many key geophysical and geochemical processes on Earth and throughout the solar system.
Venus Balloons
Collaborative efforts with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory are demonstrating that measurements from a balloon have great potential to unravel geophysical processes on Venus.
