Profile

Volcanic eruptions can alter the Earth's surface by changing the topography and surface properities of the ground, which can be detected and visualised from space. My research is based on using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) amplitude data to test various amplitude timeseries methods. I use the various methods to identify and distinguish differenct volcanic processes (e.g. pyroclastic flows and lahars), determining their flow paths, examining the post-emplacement alteration and development over time for the different processes. My areas of interest include the 2011-2013 and 2018 lava flows from Kilauea, Hawai'i and the 3rd June eruption at Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala, which produced multiple pyroclastic flows and lahars.
