About MeSince 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.
About The BlogI started this blog in March 2011 during my Masters degree in volcanology at Lancaster. It started as a way of communicating and sharing interesting volcanological insights and has developed through time to a place where I have shared my journey - from PhD through to current position as a Lecturer. As such it has become of research trips, published papers, and teaching ideas and experience more and more as time has progressed. The overall aim of this website is to provide an insight into the world of volcanoes and related phenomena in a descriptive, interesting and informative way.
