I'm an Associate Professor in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Birmingham. 

I'm also a Research Affiliate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risks, University of Cambridge and Visiting Fellow at the department of Earth Science, University of Oxford.

My research looks at the factors that govern the explosivity of volcanoes, and how to forecast and monitor these. 

I am especially interested in how we can best understand and minimise the impacts from large magnitude explosive eruptions and am a strong advocate for greater global co-ordination in this area.

These pages provide a brief overview of my research and current projects.
