2016-2020: MSci Geology, University of Birmingham (First Class Honours)
My MSci research project focused on constraining the trigger for the December 2018 lateral collapse of Anak Krakatau, Indonesia. I also looked at defining the effects of sudden unloading on subsequent magma ascent processes through integrating physical, textural and geochemical approaches.
2019: I did a summer internship with the Lunar and Planetary Institute. My project involved undertaking high-temperature oxidation experiments of terrestrial pyroxene and basalt at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre. The oxidised products were then used as analogues for weathering on the surface of Venus, enabling the ages of lava flows to be constrained.
