About

Welcome! I'm Tyler Paladino, an early career Earth and Planetary scientist with a wide variety of interests. I primarily study the physical processes of volcanoes, including ground deformation detection, explosive eruption plume dynamics and subsequent ash dispersal, and lava tube detection. To study these processes, I use a combination of remotely sensed data, numerical models, and machine learning on the Earth, Moon, and Mars. I seek to better understand volcanic processes/hazards and subsequently provide operational tools to assist humanity and our close relationship with volcanoes, their eruptive products, and their extreme hazards. Beyond volcanology, I have interests in data science, Earth science pedagogy, and data visualization.

Currently, I am a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow at the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory. More info about what I'm working on at the USGS can be found here. 

In my free time I enjoy mountain biking, climbing, skiing, reading, video games, playing guitar, and photography.
