Volcanology

The collective goals of the Volcanology Research Group at the University of Bristol are to understand the physical processes that control eruptions, and to minimise loss or damage when they do occur. We do the latter through contributing to advances in monitoring, hazard assessment and through our collaborations with communities at risk. Consequently you will find us out in the field around the world, running experiments in the lab (both analogue and petrological), analysing rocks and using geophysics, remote sensing and numerical models to achieve our goals!
