Erik Harold Hauri[1] (April 25, 1966 – September 5, 2018) was an American geochemist at the Carnegie Institution for Science.
He researched the movement of matter inside planets and how volatile compounds such as water originated on Earth and other planetary bodies, and their effects on volcanic systems.
Lawrence was an enthusiastic fisherman who took Hauri on fishing trips, sparking a lifelong interest in the outdoors.
[8] He also directed the Ion Microprobe Facility, where scientists can make micron-scale measurements of the isotopic and elemental composition of minerals.
He studied how melting magma and eruptions impact the distribution of certain elements and volatile compounds inside of planets.
