The starting behaviour of volcanic eruption plumes
This project will explore the factors that control the initial height of ‘starting’ volcanic plumes, and test the hypothesis that the height is related to the initial power of the eruption. Read more
The gas geochemistry of hydrothermal resources in the Eastern Caribbean
Volcanoes provide the heat and fluids that drive active geothermal systems, and their hydrothermal features. Read more
Percolative reactive flow - ore formation in a capsule
Understanding the evolution of Earth’s crust, including the formation of magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits, requires knowledge of the processes responsible for magmatic differentiation, which in turn depends on the distribution and mobility of fluids and melts in the crust. Read more
Multiparametric geophysics and geothermal resources
Geothermal fluids are rich in heat and can hold a wealth of valuable minerals. A key challenge is finding these fluid reservoirs and assessing important parameters such as porosity, permeability and conductivity. Read more
Granular geophysics: models of particle-laden flow
This project is defined by its methodology rather than the applications. Applications will be determined by the student in discussion with the supervisors. Read more
Fate of past submarine volcanic input to the ocean
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are extremely large volumes of extrusive igneous rock, created during relatively short-lived volcanic events during the Phanerozoic, often coinciding with major environmental (e.g., Cenozoic hyperthermals and Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events or OAEs) and biotic change (e.g., mass extinctions). Read more
Draw down of volcanic CO2 as a mechanism of climate recovery following periods of enhanced volcanism in Earth’s geological past
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) have been linked with major disruptions of Earth’s climate system. These include four of the five major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic and widespread episodes of environmental change during Ocean Anoxic Events (OAE). Read more
