Please find details below of a lecture
taking place at the IOP in London. We hope that it is of
interest.
The
Institute of Physics would like to invite you to a Lecture
given by
Professor
Heidy Mader.
The
Physics of Volcanic Eruptions
Date:
Thursday 10th April 2014
Venue:
Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT
Time:
18.30 (registration from 18.00)
Our
understanding of the processes operating during volcanic
eruptions has advanced enormously in the last 50 years. This
understanding has been driven by the application of
fundamental science to the volcanic flows, which has seen
volcanology develop from a field-based descriptive art into
a highly quantitative, process-oriented scientific
discipline.
This
lecture will be an opportunity to hear first-hand about how
physics, experimentation and modelling of eruptions is
bringing us closer to the ultimate goal of achieving
quantitative eruption forecasting.
Professor
Heidy Mader is University Research Fellow in Earth Sciences
at the University of Bristol. Her research interests cover a
broad range of multiphase phenomena in the environmental
sciences, specifically problems in volcanology and
glaciology.
The
full details about the lecture and speaker can be found in
this pdf.
The
lecture is free to attend and is open to all, physicists and
non-physicists alike, so please feel free to pass this
invitation on to your colleagues, relatives, students or
anyone else whom you think would be interested. Places are
limited, so for those wishing to attend, please register
online at,
We
look forward to seeing you there.
This
lecture is part of the Opportunity Physics 2014 lecture
