Personal profile

Research interests

My research studies the degassing of volatiles in volcanic eruptions on Earth and the Moon, starting with the composition of magma and continuing through to the evolution of the volcanic plume in the atmsophere/space. I use a range of techniques, including computational modelling, SO2 cameras, DOAS and satellite SO2 retrievals.

At Bristol, I focus on the formation of aersols in the volcanic plume, and the effect this has on the radiative properties of the volcanic cloud.
