Project EARTH will map magma and assess the risk of solar storms on energy supply. Dr Fiona Simpson, Research Associate in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London, has won a prestigious Independent Research Fellowship from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) . She has been awarded £1,032,422 for a five-year project called 'Electromagnetic Array Research over a Tectonic Hotspot (EARTH)'. If we can understand what drives eruptions, by mapping magma below Earth's surface, we can be better prepared to deal with the consequences.
