Corinne Locke's research interests range from volcanic processes to groundwater pollution. She specialises in applied geophysics, particularly gravity, microgravity, aeromagnetics and electrical methods. Current projects include: an international collaborative study of magma flux processes at active volcanoes; the internal architecture and eruptive history of volcanoes from multi-method geophysical studies; the investigation of epithermal mineralization using potential field methods; imaging groundwater resources, pollution and Quaternary faulting using electrical methods particularly 2-D resistivity and IP.
