NAME: Pete Rowley
CURRENT TITLE: Senior Lecturer in Geology
Postgraduate Research Coordinator
AREA OF EXPERTISE: I’m broadly a volcanologist, but I dabble in sedimentology, rock physics, and a few other bits and pieces. My main interests are in using experimental techniques to try and understand how explosive volcanic processes like pyroclastic density currents behave.
