Volcanic Studies Group

Biography

Research topics within VSG

  • Conduit Flow Modelling
  • Trigger mechanisms of low-frequency volcano-seismic events

Other research interests

  • Geomechanical classification of volcanic products
  • FD modelling of large scale volcanic flank instability

Background:

  • MESci Degree in Geology and Geophysics from University of Liverpool, UK.
  • PhD in Numerical modelling on "Geomechanics of volcanic instability and the effects of internal pore fluid pressurisation", worked on identifying and classifying the geomechanical properties of volcanic products and the effect of elevated fluid pressures on the stability of volcanic flanks.
  • Industry employment within the engineering geology and geophysics sectors involving the collection and processing of gravity, seismic, resistivity, electromagnetic, GPR and magnetic data, in addition to the FD modelling of engineering problems.
  • Has been in Leeds since February 2009.
