A lot of my students are now working on research that applies remote sensing to volcanoes and volcanic clouds, but I am also interested in students who want to mitigate volcanic hazards in creative ways.
Volcanology can use people with diverse backgrounds.
Currently our work is supported by NASA and NSF, and typically I like to have 2-3 new graduate students each year. Currently we have special support for GANN fellowships from NSF, which are ideal for advanced, quantitative students. A list of students who have worked with me in the past is here on this website Research Interests. I am interested in how volcanoes work, and have focussed my research on volcanic gases, volcanic domes, volcanic ash and the atmosphere and volcanic hazards. Regionally I have worked most in Central America.
