Samuel Mukasa is a professor in the Geological Sciences Department at the University of Michigan. He has earned B.Sc. degrees in geology and chemistry from the University of New Hampshire, a M.Sc. in geology at Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. in geochemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in New York. Mukasa belongs to several professional organizations including the American Geophysical Union, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Geochemical Society, and the Geological Society of America. Mukasa's research interests are in mantle evolution and volcanism in the Bering Sea region.

He has experience lecturing to university audiences and school children. Because of his academic schedule, summer lectures are ideal, however, with ample notice arrangements can be made during the winter months. Representative lecture titles include:

• Origins and Timing of Volcanism in the Bering Sea Region
• Source Characteristics of Volcanism in the Philippine Island Arcs
• Tectonic Evolution of the Paleo-Pacific Margin of Gondwana
• What We Have Learned About Mafic Magma Differentiation From Studying Layered Mafic Intrusions Such as the Dufek in Antarctica

Mukasa would like to participate in the AVS program “to communicate to Alaskans what I have learned about volcanism in their back yard.”
