About Me

Since a young age I have always been fascinated with volcanoes and have followed this up with courses at university. I finished my PhD in November 2015 and am currently continuing my research.  I decided to start writing this blog (started in March 2011) as a way of furthering my own knowledge and providing others with an informative way to learn and read about volcanoes and volcanology: I hope you find it useful and interesting! I am currently a Lecturer at the University of Sheffield where I contribute to the teaching of Physical Geography, Statistics, and Volcanology based topics. ​My current and future research revolves around the measurement of sulphur dioxide, using ultra violet cameras, in combination with geophysical datasets, and modelling via computational fluid dynamics and laboratory analogues of a variety of degassing modes from basaltic magmas, including: passive, strombolian, and lava fountaining. Within this I am particularly interested in applying low cost alternatives to previously expensive methods.
