   abstract: I have spent much of my career working to understand, assess, and mitigate
     the hazards of volcanic ash.
   additionalType: staff profile page introductory statement
 - '@type': TextObject
   abstract: "To understand the nature of the hazard, I have studied tephra deposits\
     \ in the field and designed experiments to generate volcanic ash in the laboratory.\
     \  I also develop and use models that simulate the ascent of magma in conduits,\
     \ rise of ash in volcanic plumes, and downwind movement of ash clouds.  I have\
     \ been involved in the development and application of several models that simulate\
     \ these processes.I have worked with emergency managers, Volcanic Ash Advisory\
     \ Centers, and specialists from more than a dozen volcano observatories around\
     \ the world to improve the accuracy of volcanic ash forecasts, both for aviation\
     \ safety and for ground-based communities.  From 2010-2020 I served as co-chair\
     \ of the World Meteorological Organization\u2019s Volcanic Ash Scientific Advisory\
     \ Group, an expert panel dedicated to advising Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers\
     \ on the science and practice of volcanic ash-cloud detection and forecasting.My\
     \ professional life began as a mud logger working on the North Slope of Alaska\
     \ in 1980-81.  While studying for my master\u2019s degree at Stanford in 1982-84,\
     \ I worked part time for the Tectonophysics branch of the USGS in Menlo Park,\
     \ California, where I assisted with hydraulic fracturing stress measurements,\
     \ and studied the growth of fractures and the development of breakouts, i.e.\
     \ stress-induced zones of failure, around boreholes in sandstone.My Ph.D. work\
     \ at Stanford, from 1984-1988, under Professor David Pollard, involved field\
     \ and laboratory study of the growth of surface faults above a shallow dike\
     \ in Long Valley Caldera, California.   A second half of this study focused\
     \ on how the dike heated groundwater that erupted to produce several large explosion\
     \ craters, the Inyo Craters, north of the town of Mammoth Lakes.After completing\
     \ my Ph.D., I worked from 1988-1990 as a post-doctoral researcher in the Geophysics\
     \ Institute at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.  My tasks included compiling\
     \ data for the European part of a World Stress Map project, and examining the\
     \ state of stress at a deep drillhole site in northern Bavaria.At the Cascades\
     \ Volcano Observatory, from 1990 through the late 2000s, I concentrated on the\
     \ role of water in the style and timing of eruptions.  This work involved, for\
     \ example, an examination of correlations between rainfall and gas explosions\
     \ at Mount St. Helens; on the conditions that produced explosive phreatomagmatic\
     \ eruptions at Kilauea, and effects of turbulent water-magma mixing on eruptive\
     \ style.Since the late 2000s, I have been involved primarily in volcanic ash\
     \ hazards, as described above."
