浪花直播 Interests
Encarnacion is interested in a variety of tectonic and petrologic problems dealing with subduction, magmatism, island arc and continental crustal growth as well as ore deposits. His research has taken him to Antarctica, China, Iceland, Madagascar, the Philippines, and southern Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique).
