“Given that what is below our feet does no … “Given that what is below our feet does not affect us, we essentially live in a 2D world”</br></br>When a middle school teacher proposed this to my class something about it seemed wrong, however I didn’t yet know enough to put my finger on exactly what it was. Now, almost ten years on, I know how misleading that statement is. Not only does the subsurface regulate a number of geological hazards, the rocks below our feet are intricately coupled to the surface we live on (and even the atmosphere). As such one of our most important roles as geologists in to study this ‘3rd dimension’, and in what ways it interacts with our ‘2D world’. </br></br>The curiosity to better understand this has driven me into a number of relevant research projects, in two main themes: </br></br>1) Ice sheet vulnerability and subglacial volcanoes. I have worked with a team in Edinburgh to identify nearly 100 new subglacial volcanoes in Antarctica. One of the major research questions we are currently working in is how isostatic rebound from thinning ice affects the rate and extent of volcanism (and thus the ice sheet basal conditions)</br> </br>2) Volcanic hazard modelling and tectonics. Working with colleagues around the world, I have approached this topic from both the hazard prevention and global tectonics viewpoint. As part of a UNESCO world heritage bid we developed a global comparative framework for monogenetic volcanoes- one important result of this being the broad range of tectonic environments in which volcanoes occur. This work was recently condensed into a book chapter I co-wrote entitled ‘Volcanoes, plumbing systems and tectonics’.</br></br> I am starting a PhD in glacial mapping, crustal imaging and glacio-isostatic modelling in the US later this year. This workshop would be a great opportunity to meet some of the community in this field and develop potential future collaborations. It would also be a chance to present the relevant work we have carried out around the world and discuss our modelling strategies and algorithms.s our modelling strategies and algorithms.
