Lithologic Mapping of HED Terrains on Vesta using Dawn Framing Camera Color Data
, 2013 The surface composition of Vesta, the most massive intact basaltic object in the asteroid belt, is interesting because it provides us with an insight into magmatic differentiation of planetesimals that eventually coalesced to form the terrestrial planets.

Research in volcanic geology, petrology and planetary science at MIT, 1969 to 1974 [PDF]
The behavior of volcanoes was studied by geologic mapping, petrologic investigations of lava and xenoliths, physical measurements, and theoretical modelling. Field observations were conducted in Alaska (Nunivak Island), Iceland, Hawaii (Mauna Kea), Italy
