We are saddened to share the news that Professor Geoff Wadge has passed away.
A world-renowned volcanologist, Geoff was best known for his work on Montserrat, including his 1987 work anticipating the hazards of a future eruption of Soufriere Hills. In 2015, Geoff was awarded the Geological Society’s Murchison Medal for significant contributions to geology and remote sensing.
As a chair for the advisory panel for the first phase of COMET (2002 – 2008), Geoff was instrumental in shaping what our centre is today. It was in fact Geoff who recommended that volcanoes should be included in the COMET portfolio. He remained a COMET scientist from 2008 until his retirement.
All of us at COMET extend our sympathies to those close to Geoff, and are grateful for all of the incredible research and knowledge he shared throughout his career.
