Dr Matthew Watson – School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol
Principal Investigator, Work Package 1 Leader

Matt Watson is the Principle Investigator for SPICE. His research involves inversion of remotely-sensed data to retrieve physical parameters of volcanic plumes and clouds over several spatial scales, using both ground- and satellite-based techniques. These include ultraviolet (DOAS) and thermal infrared (ASTER) gas spectroscopy, and visible, near infrared (Sun-photometers) and thermal infrared aerosol retrievals (MODIS, AIRS).
