Thomas Aubry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford and a tutor at St Hugh's College. His research intersects climate science and physical volcanology, focusing on how volcanic processes and emissions affect climate and societal hazards. He coordinates the production of volcanic emission forcing datasets for next-generation climate model simulations, under the direction of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and co-chairs the Tephra Hazard Modelling Commission of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI). Aubry's core research themes include understanding the rise and dispersion of ash and gas columns from explosive volcanic eruptions, the effects of past and future explosive eruptions on climate, and how climate change influences volcanic activity and associated ash hazards. His approach integrates numerical modeling, laboratory experiments, satellite remote sensing, and field studies. He welcomes discussions about project ideas and opportunities for postdoctoral and PhD applications.
