Juliet Biggs specializes in the study of active tectonics, volcanism, and anthropogenic deformation through satellite technology to transform the understanding of faults, volcanoes, and ground stability. She has been a full professor in Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol since 2019, having completed her B.A. and M.Sci. degrees at the University of Cambridge in 2003 and her Ph.D. at the University of Oxford in 2007. Her research includes major multidisciplinary projects on the East African Rift, focusing on dyke intrusions, faulting, and the role of magma transport and storage, which provide scientific insights for new hazard assessments and building codes. Biggs has leveraged deep learning algorithms to enhance the monitoring of volcanic deformation signals, adapting methods for satellite data to monitor abandoned mines and railway embankments in the UK. She co-directs the BGS Centre for Observation and Monitoring of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tectonics (COMET) and leads the ERC Consolidator Project MAST (2022-2027). Her work has earned her several awards, including the Bullerwell Award from the British Geophysical Association in 2016 and the AGU John Wahr Early Career Award in 2017. Her research crosses the boundaries of volcanology, geophysics, and tectonics, significantly impacting hazard management strategies.
