My prime research interest is the investigation of processes relating to fluid migration and emplacement in the Earth’s crust and their effect on volcanic processes.
I am particularly interested in the behaviour of collapse calderas undergoing episodes of unrest via the investigation of gravity changes and ground deformation. These investigations permit the quantification of mass and density variations at depth, which may be employed to shed light on recharge processes in magmatic and/or hydrothermal systems at depth.
A further interest is the quantification of physicochemical properties of silicate melts, particularly the thermodynamics of glass-rich flows and the interaction between melt rheology and eruptive processes.
