Our group focus is to combine several research themes to understand the production, evolution and eruption of magma.
Seismic research focuses on the identification and separation of volcanic seismic signals and their attribution to distinct volcanic processes such as magma ascent, pressurisation and magma extrusion.
Petrological and geochemical work allows us to determine the magma history, giving insights into how eruptions occur and magma is generated.
Deformation and InSAR work allow us to remotely monitor eruptions and magma movements within the crust. less
