We are fortunate to have a significant number of colleagues and groups to collaborate with here at the University of Minnesota.
These include:
Dave Kohlstedt - Mineral Physics Lab
Larry Edwards - Isotope Geochemistry
Donna Whitney - Metamorphic Geology
Donna and I also collaborate in bringing up our daughter, Naomi. Here are some pics from Donna's web page.

Mark Ghiorso, (my former Ph.D. advisor) is the author of
MELTS. Mark and
I are working on new and improved versions of MELTS, including pMELTS (which exists) and xMELTS, which doesn't yet.
Erik Hauri is involved in several projects at DTM.
Also, I still maintain collaborations with colleagues from my post-doc days at Caltech, including Paul Asimow, Ed Stolper, and Mike Baker.
