Eruption at Volc\u00e1n de Colima<\/p><\/div>\n

My name is John A Stevenson.\u00a0 I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Geosciences<\/a> at Edinburgh University, UK.\u00a0 I am funded (through the Royal Society of Edinburgh<\/a>) by the Scottish Government and Marie-Curie Actions to explore the types of volcanic eruption and weather conditions that can result in ash from Icelandic volcanoes being deposited in Scotland and across Northern Europe.\u00a0 You can read more about my project or find my contact details on my research pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"I have set up this blog to explain my work, and aspects of volcanology in general, to a wider audience.\u00a0 The taxpayer has funded my training and work, and so it is only fair that they can share the results without having to trawl through academic journals.\u00a0 Expect posts about all aspects of volcanology, from climate-changingly-huge explosive eruptions to microscopically-tiny ash grains.\u00a0 Much of the work relates to volcanoes beneath snow\/glaciers and to eruptions in Iceland.\u00a0 I also want to post about the tools and the methods of modern volcanology, to explain how<\/em> we know what we know.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Computers are an extremely important tool.\u00a0 They are used to collect and process data from instruments such as seismometers, to analyse maps and satellite images, to run simulations to predict the likely outcomes of future eruptions, and much more.\u00a0 Some of these methods will be discussed in the blog.\u00a0 In particular, I do nearly all my work with free and open source<\/a> software (FOSS).\u00a0 This has many advantages, including being able to work anywhere and share techniques with anyone.\u00a0 I will post about tips and tricks about FOSS in science and geology here as I find them.<\/p>\n

Although I have a long list of things to write about, I expect to post sporadically when I have some spare time or when inspiration strikes.\u00a0 The best way to find out when new posts go up is to subscribe to the blog.\u00a0 You can do that in two different ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
