He researches volcanic eruptions and their role in the earth system. He has written several hundred publications and is often cited. He is also the founder of the first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in volcanism, entitled Volcanic Eruptions: a material science , which has had over 20,000 participants since its inception in 2013.
