معرفی
Dr. Helen Innes is a Research Fellow in Volcanology at the University of St Andrews, affiliated with the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences. Her work focuses on reconstructing volcanic activity through analysis of ice core records, particularly sulfur isotope and tephra geochemistry to understand eruption characteristics and climate impacts. Key contributions include identifying unknown eruptions and their effects on climate and societal events.
Her research combines glaciology, geochemistry, and volcanology to study volcanic aerosol deposition, plume dynamics, and stratospheric sulfur injection. She has co-authored studies on major eruptions like Eldgjá (Iceland), Los Chocoyos (Guatemala), and Okmok (Alaska), linking volcanic events to historical climate shifts and societal changes.
Publications highlight novel methodologies in cryptotephra analysis and ice-core sulfur isotope measurements, advancing understanding of eruption frequency and global climate interactions. Collaborations span institutions globally, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches.
Her work addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action (SDG 13) and disaster risk reduction (SDG 11), contributing to hazard assessments and long-term climate modeling.
