Mac Rutherford (Professor Emeritus of Geological Sciences, Brown University) has passed away

Excerpts from Julie Hammer’s announcement on the MSA listserv:

Mac developed an experimental phase equilibrium approach to constrain magma conditions prior to eruption.

He also studied the solubility and speciation of sulfur in magma, mineral barometry, & the kinetics of crystal nucleation & growth.
