Dr. Margaret Hartley is an Associate Professor in Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Manchester. She holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh (2012) and a BA/MSci in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge (2007). Her research focuses on volcanic systems, investigating processes from mantle melting to surface eruptions using field studies, geochemical analysis, and modeling. Key themes include magmatic gas budgets, mantle geochemical heterogeneity, and volatile recycling.
Her work contributes to UN SDGs related to climate action and sustainable resource use. Current projects include the Magmatic volatiles in the fourth dimension (2023–2026) and Unlocking the C and N budget of the Earth (2021–2024). She has supervised 3 PhD students and collaborated on 8 research projects, including the EUROVOLC network (2018–2021). Hartley has served on the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants review panel and organized the VMSG 2022 conference.
Her research outputs span 53 peer-reviewed articles, with recent contributions on clinopyroxene iron valence systematics, lunar granulite protoliths, and volcanic gas dynamics. Datasets include melt inclusion imaging and thin section scans from Iceland and Papua New Guinea. She has provided expert commentary on volcanic eruption risks for LiveScience and Sky News.
