Benjamin Esse is a Researcher in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Manchester. His work focuses on remote sensing of volcanic emissions using satellite, ground, and aerial measurements to advance understanding of volcanic processes and environmental impacts. He holds a MPhys in Physics with Astrophysics from the University of York (2016) and a PhD in Volcanology from the University of Manchester (2021), supervised by Prof. Mike Coe and Dr. Mike Burton. His research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental sustainability and disaster risk reduction.
Key research interests include volcanic gas dynamics, magma degassing mechanisms, and eruption forecasting. He has contributed to major projects like the 'Petrology and volcanology' initiative, collaborating with institutions globally. Notable datasets include analyses of the 2022 Mauna Loa and 2021 La Palma eruptions, leveraging satellite-derived SO₂ emissions for eruption modeling. His work has been featured in media outlets like the Mail Online and disseminated via platforms like FigShare.
Esse advises multiple PhD students (e.g., J. Delbrel, A. Pardo Cofrades) and has secured grants supporting field campaigns and analytical instrumentation. He actively participates in conferences such as the IAVCEI 2017 Scientific Assembly and presents findings at international forums. His lab focuses on integrating remote sensing with in-situ measurements to improve volcanic hazard mitigation strategies.
