Professor Colin Wilson is a geologist who studies both the deposits of volcanic activity and their sub-surface magmatic systems, particularly those that give rise to hazardous explosive volcanic eruptions. The visit is designed to bring Colin Wilson’s knowledge and experience to bear on multiple projects currently active within the School of Earth Sciences and exchange information and knowledge around the behaviour of large, hazardous volcanic systems.
Professor Wilson is hosted by Professor Juliet Biggs in Earth Sciences. Together they will be collaborating on the reserach project 'New insights into the dynamics of large silicic volcanic systems'
