Professor of Earth Sciences (Earth sciences; Environmental sciences)

Oxford, UK

I am a volcanologist at the University of Oxford, working on young and active volcanoes around the world. You can find out a bit more about what I do from my blog at http://volcanicdegassing.wordpress.com. Current projects include 'STREVA' - working with with colleagues in the UK, Ecuador, Colombia and the Caribbean to help reduce the negative impacts of volcanic activity on communities in volcanic areas (http://streva.ac.uk); Oxford Sparks (http://www.oxfordsparks.net), a hub for public engagement activities and resources; Volcano Top Trumps (http://volcanoestoptrumps.org) a wonderful card game for anyone with a fascination for volcanoes and London Volcano (http://londonvolcano.com)
