Marie Edmonds

Marie Edmonds is a Professor of Volcanology and Petrology at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Cambridge, UK. She has held roles such as Vice President and Ron Oxburgh Fellow at Queens’ College, and serves as Director of Research and Deputy Head of Department at Cambridge.

• Ph.D. in Volcanology (2002) from University of Cambridge
• Bachelor of Arts in Geological Sciences (1997) from University of Cambridge

Her research focuses on the cycling of volatiles between Earth's mantle and atmosphere, magmatic volatile impacts on volcanic processes, and hazard assessment. She has pioneered studies on gas-magma interactions, carbon budget quantification, and satellite-based monitoring of volcanic plumes.

Marie's work spans geochemistry, volcanology, and Earth systems science, with a strong emphasis on volcanic degassing, magma storage, and climate modulation. Her publications appear in top-tier journals like Science and Nature Geoscience.
