June 2014 – September 2014 | Website Coordinator for Volcanology at Leicester

University of Leicester, UK.

Responsibilities

Developed & coordinated outreach materials for the volcanology research group.

I developed a website for the Volcanology at Leicester research group to showcase their research and provide outreach material. This involved developing the site using the university’s content management system (CMS) and developing fully hand-coded HTML and CSS static websites where the CMS was unsuitable for their needs. As part of this, I collated the research of each group member and wrote summary text throughout the site.

I’m Alex Clarke

I am a structural geologist working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Johannes Gutenberg–Universität Mainz and a hobbyist girl-with-camera.

My research focuses on the heterogeneities within large faults, shear zones, and subduction zone mélanges — how to map them, quantify them, and explain their origins. I am especially interested in 3D reconstructions of rocks and outcrops which allow detailed, realistic, and quantifiable models of natural phenomena. I also love to teach and I am interested in innovative and engaging methods of teaching earth sciences, both in the classroom and in the field.

In my free time, I enjoy photography and my images reflects my love of nature and the diverse forms nature can take.
