My work brings together expertise in volcanology/magmatism, atmospheric chemistry and paleoclimatology/stratigraphy. This combination allows me to tackle problems ranging from acute volcanic hazards and air pollution events in the present-day to the role of volcanism in the long-term evolution of our planet’s environment over its geological history and much in between.

My publications fully listed at the bottom of this page and to download a brief CV click here.

My main research interests centre on the science behind volcanoes and volcanic behaviour. My motivation is to understand volcanoes as (a) a key planetary scale process throughout geological time, vital for maintaining habitability as well as driving environmental change, (b) natural hazards and (c) resources (e.g., geothermal power and the development of ore deposits). Specific interests include:

  • The atmospheric chemistry and environmental impacts of volcanic plumes including the effects due to background air mixing into the hot gas mixture and volcanic lightning
  • Quantifying and understanding the volcanic fluxes of chemical species of atmospheric importance over different temporal and spatial scales (gases and particles) and their roles in global geochemical cycles
  • Volcanic degassing processes and the formation of volcanic aerosol
  • The emission and chemistry of mercury and other environmentally and economically important metals in volcanic plumes
  • Large igneous provinces, their environmental impacts and their fingerprints in the sedimentary record
  • Using stable isotopes (e.g., S and B) to understand volcanic processes geochemical cycles
  • The cycling of volatiles through subduction zones
  • Studying past eruptive behaviour of volcanic systems to inform future hazards
  • Patterns and forcing of volcanism on the arc scale
  • Studying volcanic deformation in order to understand the physical processes of magma movement and storage and the structure and stability of volcanic edifices
  • The flow of fluids (e.g,. carbon dioxide or metal-rich brines) under and through volcanic edifices and areas.

These interests also lead me away from volcanoes at times and I have also studied the emissions from an oil depot fire (Buncefield 2005) and am generally interested in the global mercury cycle as well as other biogeochemical cycles.

We are always interested in recruiting graduate students in volcanology. The main applications round is usually in the autumn, with many university scholarship deadlines in early January. See the Graduate Admissions page for details, or email me directly. Read about past projects and where our PhD students are now here.
