James Hickey

COMET Associate: Volcanoes
University of Leeds

Areas of expertise: Volcano geophysics, volcanology, numerical modelling

Associated projects: DV3M – Deforming Volcanoes with dynamic Magma Mush Models (NERC Pushing the Frontiers) (https://gotw.nerc.ac.uk/list_full.asp?pcode=NE%2FX013944%2F1&classtype=Science+Topic&classification=Earth+Engineering&cookieConsent=A)

James is a geophysical volcanologist at the University of Exeter, with research interests in the processes controlling the dynamics of active and restless volcanoes and the geophysical and geochemical signals they produce. He works closely with collaborators at volcano observatories in Japan, Montserrat, Iceland, USA, Costa Rica, and others.

Before starting at the University of Exeter in 2016, James completed his PhD at the University of Bristol in 2015, and then was a COMET-supported postdoctoral researcher. His main research expertise involves numerical modelling of volcano monitoring signals to infer magmatic processes potentially leading to eruption.
