\begin{abstract}
Hello Reddit! My name is Tom Pering and I am currently a Teaching
Associate at the University of Sheffield. My research focuses on the
gases which volcanoes release. In particular, I am interested in
volcanoes which have basaltic magmas. This type of magma allows the
constant release of gases at the surface, which can then be measured
using remote sensing techniques. As part of this, I am also interested
in the modelling of how gas behaves within magmas, which then leads to a
range of volcanic activities; such as strombolian eruptions. The
research group in volcano remote sensing at the University of Sheffield
has a strong history of developing such techniques. Recently we have
developed a low-cost ultraviolet camera approach to remotely sense the
volcanic gas sulphur dioxide (SO2), which incorporates the popular
Raspberry Pi platform. Happy to answer questions about my research and
more broadly about volcanology! Here are a few example papers from our
recent research: Ultraviolet Imaging with Low Cost Smartphone Sensors:

everyone! I am taking a break for a couple of hours but will keep an eye
on this and return to answer questions at about 8 pm GMT (3 pm Eastern
Time).%
