NMHU Geology

Sam Poppe is an expert on planetary volcanology. He carries out research in volcano deformation processes through scaled laboratory experiments, numerical modelling, field work on active and extinct volcanoes in the Comores archipelago, East-DR Congo and Rwanda, Norway, and Poland, and remote observations of Mars and the Moon. His "DeMo-Planet project" combined field observations at trachyandesite intrusions in the Sudetes with numerical models. His mentor roles include guidance around the quarries in SW Poland visited by IRES, instructing on structural geology field methods, and collecting drone-based imagery to produce virtual outcrops of the field sites. He is assistant professor at the Mars Exploration Laboratory of the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
