Senior🎓
Top SchoolJamie Farquharson is a volcanologist and Specially Appointed Professor at Niigata University with eight years of focused research experience spanning experimental volcanology, permeability and reactive fluid flow in volcanic systems, and remote-sensing-driven reconstructions of volcanic landscapes. Trained across the UK, France and the US, Jamie combines laboratory measurements, numerical modelling and fieldwork to link small-scale experiments to edifice-scale deformation and eruption-triggering by external forces. He spent a NASA-funded postdoc at the University of Miami and has worked on geothermal reservoir dissolution and acid stimulation, bringing interdisciplinary geoscience and applied problem-solving to his research. As founder and Editor-in-Chief of Volcanica and President of the Free Journal Network, he is a vocal advocate for diamond open access and has hands-on experience running a volunteer-led academic journal. Jamie also consults with science-fiction authors, blending scientific rigor with creative communication to broaden public engagement with volcanology.
