Dr. Jeremy Phillips is a physical volcanologist with a broad interest in environmental hazard, risk and resilience. His physical science background is in fluid dynamics and volcanic processes, including fundamental processes of explosive volcanic eruptions, and multiphase environmental flows including volcanic ash transport, and dynamics of suspensions and granular flows. Dr. Phillips' main career focus has been the prediction of volcanic hazards and their impacts, including volcanic ash transport, lahars and landslides, volcanic gases and crater lakes. He now works across disciplines to integrate hazard assessment with social and physical vulnerability, risk management structures and community engagement, with social scientists, engineers, mathematicians and statisticians. A current focus is cascading hazard impacts including volcanic ash impacts on agricultural communities and infrastructure, and hydrometeorological hazards including lahars and sediment-charged floods, working in collaboration with academic social scientists, community artists and in-country hazard prediction and risk management agencies. He is currently the Professor of Volcanology and Natural Hazards at the University of Bristol.
