Dr Vern Manville
Lecturer in Flood and Sediment Dynamics in the School of Earth and Environment
Dr Manville’s research focuses on a number of areas associated with volcanic activity including landscape responses to large-scale explosive volcanic eruptions, lahar initiation and propagation, and dam-breach floods from natural impoundments, including volcanogenic lakes and landslide dams. Other interests involve sedimentology of volcaniclastic deposits in continental and marine environments, debris avalanche initiation and run-out processes, volcano-tectonic interactions at caldera volcanoes, coupled catchment-channel dynamics in perturbed earth systems, and giant rafted pumice blocks from subaqueous felsic dome eruptions. His current research centres on the March 2007 break-out lahar from Crater Lake, Ruapehu, New Zealand and eruption-triggered lahars at Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand.
