- Profile
-
Tom Pering joined the department as a Teaching Associate in July 2016. He obtained his BSc in Physical Geography at the University of Reading in 2010.
Following this he moved to Lancaster University where he completed a MSc course in Volcanology and Geological Hazards.
He undertook his PhD at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ with thesis titled "Bubbles in Basalts: Measuring and Modelling Basaltic Degassing", completed in 2015.
- Research interests
-
My research revolves around the measurement of sulphur dioxide, using ultra violet cameras, and modelling via computational fluid dynamics and laboratory analogues of a variety of degassing modes from basaltic magmas, including: passive, strombolian, and lava fountaining.
Within this I am particularly interested in applying low-cost alternatives to previously expensive methods. In particular, I use low-cost computing platforms such as the Raspberry Pi.
