About Michael
Post-doctoral Researcher on a NERC Urgency Grant
A field and lab based research post to study the recent increase in activity of Volcan de Colima, Mexico. I will be comparing multiple different monitoring datasets, including direct visual observations, SO2 gas emissions (with a UV camera and flyspec), seismic data, satellite imagery and subsequent analysis of the erupted tephra. We are hoping that this dataset will provide information regarding the volcanoÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™s current state, including the effusion rate, fragmentation mechanisms and eruptive processes, which may prove to be important for those living in close proximity to the volcano. (PI: Dr Paul Cole)
