معرفی
Dr Adam Cotterill is a Lecturer in Volcanology and GIS/Remote Sensing at the Department of Earth Sciences, University College London. His research focuses on volcanic emissions, thermal degassing, and remote sensing techniques, including drone-based gas sampling. He is affiliated with the UCL Hazard Centre and contributes to courses such as Volcanoes, Society and the Environment, and Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing.
His research examines processes sustaining open-vent volcanism, using satellite-based thermal/SO2 monitoring and probabilistic hazard modeling. He investigates magma column dynamics via thermal remote sensing and assesses volcanic risk through tephra deposition models. Current projects include studying excess degassing at open-vent volcanoes and magma recharge processes at Papua New Guinea's Manam volcano.
Adam's work spans field-based observations and computational modeling, with recent studies on Icelandic and Italian volcanic systems. His methodologies integrate drone and satellite data for compositional analysis of volcanic plumes, advancing understanding of volcanic gas dynamics and eruption impacts.
