Janine Krippner is a physical volcanologist from New Zealand who uses remote sensing to study Pyroclastic flows at Concord University. She is also a popular science communicator.

Early life and education

Krippner was born in Te Awamutu, New Zealand. She completed her Bachelors (2006) and Masters (2009) at the University of Waikato under the supervision of Roger Briggs.[1] For this work she studied Mount Ngauruhoe, an active basaltic andesite-to-andesite composite cone volcano.[2] She worked for Shell Australia between 2010 and 2012 as a graduate geoscientist.[3] She completed her PhD, Large dome collapse driven block-and-ash flows on Shiveluch volcano, Kamchatka, and pyroclastic flows on Mount St. Helens, in 2017, funded by NASA.[4] Whilst a PhD student she was listed by Wired as one of the top scientists to follow on Twitter.[5] Krippner was appointed a Phipps Science Communication Fellow in 2015.[6]

Research and career

In 2018 Krippner joined the Concord University as a postdoctoral researcher, where she has continued her work on pyroclastic density current research.[7] She is part of a volcanic terpha project THROUGHPUT: Standards and Services for Community Curated Repositories, which will look at the Cascades Range volcanic deposits.[8][9] The project, funded by the National Science Foundation EarthCube program, looks to report research in earth sciences using online tools, social media and publicly accessible databases.[10]

Alongside her research, she maintains an active presence on social media, sharing stories about her research and volcanic eruptions.[11][12] Krippner monitored Mount Agung from Pittsburgh using social media and an online seismogram.[13][14] She used Twitter to release information about the volcano's activity in English, helping tourists on site.[15][16][17][14] Krippner keeps a popular science blog In the Company of Volcanoes with Alison Graettinger.[18] She is an editor of the journal Volcanica.[19]
