Mike Burton is a Chair in Volcanology at the University of Manchester. Mike’s research interests focus on volcanic processes, and how measurements, modelling and experiments on these processes can help us to forecast volcanic eruptions and successfully manage volcanic crises.

Specific areas of interest include: Measuring volcanic gas emissions with remote sensing techniques and in-situ tunable diode laser spectrometers from ground and the air, Reconstruction of volcanic gas flux time series from satellite imagery, Working with volcano observatories to improve monitoring techniques, Numerical integration of petrology, gas geochemistry and fluid mechanics during magma ascent and Studying disequilibria in volcanism.
