Dr. Ebmeier investigates different aspects of volcanic activity using satellite remote sensing. In particular, she studies the physical processes that control the character of volcanic activity, including magma storage, edifice growth & collapse, and volcanic interactions. An important aspect of the research using satellite imagery...
