Dr Sam Engwell is a member of BGS’s volcanology team. Sam's research combines numerical modelling, statistical and field analysis techniques to build a picture of past eruptive activity, and inform our understanding of future behaviour. Sam was the recipient of the Geological Society’s William Smith Fund in 2023, which is awarded to geoscientists within the first 10 years of their career. The fund recognises excellent contributions to geoscience research and its application, in the UK and intern

Welcome to Core Questions, the brand new podcast from the British Geological Survey that uncovers how geology shapes our world. In this first episode, remote sensing geoscientist Alessandro Novellino explains how different types of satellites work, what kind of data they collect and how we use that information to study our planet. Plus, we’ll settle the ultimate question: could a satellite see you waving down on Earth? 🎧 Listen now: https://ow.ly/o72h50VuBSN | British Geological Survey
