Jacob Helgeson is a Masters student in Geological Sciences at The University of Alabama, supervised by Dr. Rebecca Totten. His research focuses on the impacts of glacial melting and volcanic inputs on biological systems during the Holocene. His study area includes the Getz Ice Shelf, Antarctica and the fjords of southern Patagonia. Jacob specializes in … Continued
Kerys Meredew is in the final year of her PhD in Volcanology at the University of Birmingham, UK. Her research investigates how magmatic systems are perturbed by volcanic sector collapse and subsequent edifice regrowth, focusing on the 2018 collapse of Anak Krakatau in Indonesia. As part of this project, she combines GIS-based structural investigations with … Continued
Macarena Pérez is a PhD student at the University of Playa Ancha (Chile) under the supervision of Dr. Céline Lavergne. Her research focuses on determining the sources and processes that influence the release and transformation of mercury as an indicator of natural and anthropogenic events in south-central Chile using an interdisciplinary approach. In this expedition, … Continued
Marianne Heberlein is a Ph.D. student at the University of Alabama supervised by Dr. Rebecca L. Totten. Her research focuses on determining paleoenvironmental and glacial changes in the Amundsen Sea sector using geochemical, sedimentological, micropaleontological and geophysical methods. On this expedition, she is particularly interested in investigating the relationship between diatom blooms and volcanic tephra … Continued
Paola is a geologist. She currently works as a Database Geologist at the Geological Information System Office of the Chilean Geological Survey SERNAGEOMIN. Additionally, she is part of the Geological and Geophysical Marine Program (the same institution). Her expertise primarily relies in the construction and management of geospatial databases with structured data; as well as … Continued
Senay is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Malta, Marine Geology and Seafloor Surveying Group. She is currently working on geological modeling of continental margins for hydrogeology of offshore freshened groundwater. Her expertise is in sedimentary basin analysis using hydroacoustic, sediment, and borehole data. Her past research interests include exploration geology, gas hydrates and … Continued
Sion Moraga is an student of Geology in her final year of study at the University of Chile, where she is working on her thesis project. Her research focuses on the sedimentological characterization of glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) deposits in the Huemules Norte River valley, Northern Patagonian Icefield, Chile. This involves describing sediment cores … Continued
Seb is an associate professor in Earth sciences at the University of Birmingham, UK, specialising in volcanology. His research investigates the factors governing volcano behaviour, including complex hazards at island and coastal volcanoes. Recent research projects include investigations of explosive eruptions, tsunami hazards and volcano evolution at Indonesian volcanoes, including Krakatau. Much of his work … Continued
