Volcanic Tsunamis

Speaker: Dr Sebastian Watt, Associate Professor of Earth Sciences, and Head of Education, School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham

Dr Watt’s research investigates the physical and chemical processes that control how volcanoes behave and develop in the long-term. Most of his work focuses on volcanism in subduction zones. Current projects include looking at past explosive eruptions by analysing the layers of tephra ejected, studies of large-scale volcanic landslides and associated hazards, and the chemistry and evolution of monogenetic volcanic systems which only erupt once before being classed as extinct.
