Our multidisciplinary investigation of explosive volcanic eruptions includes:

• Monitoring and remote sensing of explosive volcanoes such as Soufriere Hills, Monserrat.
• Mathematical models of explosive eruption mechanisms on Earth and elsewhere in the solar system.
• Laboratory simulations of explosive eruptions using a magma analogue.
• Investigation of how volcanic pollutants are dispersed in the atmosphere.
• Study of the impact of volcanic ash on soil and vegetation.
