I am a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow at the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (University of St Andrews).
My research is focused on volcanic hazards and resources. I use both field and lab approaches to understand the processes that drive magmatic systems, and how we can safely and sustainably develop the resources they offer.
I lead the St Andrews Volcanic Eruptions and Impacts (StA-VEI) Group and the international working group VICS – Volcanic Impacts on Climate and Society (funded by PAGES, Past Global Changes).
I am passionate about understanding processes that trigger large volcanic events, and their consequences for climate and society. Using the knowledge from the past we can better prepare society for future eruptions.
I am always interested in supporting postgraduate students and postdoc fellowships to work on volcanism and magmatic processes. For more information please email me or take a look at our School website for current positions.
