Geologist with research interests in submarine volcanism.
I have been conducting research for over 20 years on volcanic
processes and potential disaster risks associated with submarine
volcanoes and the magma genesis involved. I have spent a total of over
600 days on research expeditions at sea and have conducted 11 deep-sea
dives with human-occupied submersibles to investigate the ocean floor.
