Short Bio

Celine Mandon is a volcanologist and lecturer at Yachay Tech. Her expertise is in the field of fluid and rock geochemistry. She is interested in volcanic degassing, from the degassing processes at depth to interactions with ground and surface water and the risk volcanic emanations pose to populations. Before coming to Yachay, she did her PhD at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, studying the volatile transport of metals in the active magmatic-hydrothermal system of White Island.
