Professional biography

I am presently Pro Vice Chancellor Learning & Teaching Innovation. before that I was Dean and Director of Studies in the Faculty of Science and Profesor of Environmental Volcanology.

Research interests

I have developed and championed the use of microgravity as a tool for monitoring active volcanoes. I have used this method to identify sub-surface processes at calderas in a state of unrest and at persistently active volcanoes and this has given geoscientists considerable insight into the range of mechanisms responsible for initiating and sustaining volcanic activity. The technique I pioneered is now the standard method for gravity monitoring on volcanoes; it remains the only way to quantify the sub-surface mass changes that occur before, during and after eruptions.

Teaching interests

OU teaching has been at all levels, from introductory to Masters and PhD teaching. I have taught on geophysics courses and on public engagement courses.

Impact and engagement

My research uses Citizen Scientists to help collect data on the geophysical signatures and the environmental impact of persistently active volcanoes. The imapct has been that  local visitor centres, national parks and civil defence authorities as appropriate have solicited advice and guidance on action and policy.
