Ice sheet melt has been shown to increase volcanic activity in subglacial volcanoes elsewhere on the globe.

Biography
I study the role of multiphase processes on the dynamics of Earth and other Planetary bodies. More specifically, I focus on volcanology, geodynamics and porous media flow with a variety of theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches.
