Introduction: Dr. Kyle Anderson received his MS and PhD degrees in geophysics from Stanford University. He was a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory before moving to his current position as a research geophysicist at the USGS Volcano Science Center at Moffett Field, California. His work focuses on understanding and forecasting volcanic activity by developing mathematical models which relate magma physics with monitoring data such as ground deformation and eruption rate. Other interests include basaltic caldera collapses, episodic eruptive behavior, and uncertainty quantification in volcanological inverse problems.
