My research focuses on interactions between volcanoes, climate and human society. It examines the impact of historical volcanic eruptions in different regions, and how other factors interacted to exacerbate/mitigate these impacts. Doing this requires combining data and methods from history, climatology, sociology and economics. My current study areas are all in India, but I am aiming to expand this to look at Great Britain and other British colonies in South Africa, Australia and North America.
