Dr. Erik Hauri is a staff scientist in geochemistry in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC.  His research interests are broad, spanning from the isotopic and chemical evolution of the Earth's deep interior to modeling of flow and melting in mantle plumes to high-pressure experimental petrology to secondary ion mass spectrometry.  He strives to understand how planetary processes affect the chemistry of the Earth, Moon and other objects, and to use that chemistry to understand the origin and evolution of planetary bodies. Hauri was named Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and Geochemical Society, and awarded the F. G. Houtermans Medal by the European Association of Geochemistry and the James B. Macelwane Medal by the American Geophysical Union. He serves as co-chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Reservoir and Fluxes Community.
