Professor Edward Llewellin is a Professor of Volcanology and Director of Research in the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University, where he has been a faculty member since 2007. He is also a Member of the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies and serves as the Founder and Director of the Action on Natural Disasters Doctoral Training Centre at Durham University. His research focuses on understanding the physical controls on volcanic eruptive style, with particular emphasis on mesoscopic-scale processes within magma. Dr. Llewellin earned his PhD in Earth Sciences from the University of Bristol (1998-2002), where his thesis focused on 'The rheology of bubbly magmas.' Prior to joining Durham University as a Lecturer in Volcanology in 2007, he held NERC Research Fellowships at both the BP Institute, University of Cambridge and the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Durham/Bristol (2003-2008), and was a Lecturer at the University of Bristol (2002-2003). Professor Llewellin's primary research interest is quantifying the physical controls on volcanic eruptive style, with particular focus on the fundamental role played by magmatic processes and properties at the mesoscopic scale (the lengthscale of intra-magmatic bubbles and crystals). His ongoing research includes laboratory and numerical investigation of: the rheology of bubble- and particle-bearing magma, the flow of volcanic gases through permeable magma, and the dynamics of Strombolian eruptions. His work bridges experimental, numerical, and field approaches to understand volcanic processes from the microscale to the volcano scale. Analysis of Professor Llewellin's recent publications reveals a strong focus on magma dynamics, particularly concerning how bubble behavior, magma rheology, and conduit geometry influence volcanic eruptions. His work frequently combines experimental approaches with numerical modeling to investigate processes such as magma flow localization, thermoviscous effects in eruptions, and the transition between explosive and effusive activity. A notable trend in his recent work is the application of novel techniques like muon imaging to understand volcanic conduit structures, as well as crowd-sourced data collection methods for documenting eruptions. Thermo-Fischer Scientific VMSG Award (2021) British Society of Rheology Annual Award (2016) Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research Most Cited Author (2003-2007) Professor Llewellin has supervised students including Fakhri Bintang and Saskia Willar-Sheehan (MScR).
