Humans and volcanoes

Humans and volcanoes

There is a sense of looking to volcanoes and their power and recognising our own power as well, and with that power comes a great sense of responsibility.
I am a professor of Volcanology. 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.
