Dr Tehnuka Ilanko is a postdoctoral fellow and honorary research associate in the School of Science at the University of Waikato. She holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge and a BSc (Hons) from the University of Waikato. Her research focuses on volcanic degassing, including the measurement of volcanic gases through remote sensing and direct sampling, as well as the use of gas chemistry to understand volcanic processes. She has contributed to studies on cyclic degassing at Erebus volcano in Antarctica, rapidly convecting lava lakes at Masaya volcano in Nicaragua, Strombolian eruptions and magma degassing dynamics at Yasur volcano in Vanuatu, and gas emissions from volcanoes in the Aleutian-Alaska arc and other regions. Additional work includes research on tephra seismites and seismically induced structures in volcanic ash layers preserved in lakes, examining seismic hazards in the Hamilton lowlands of New Zealand. Dr Ilanko has co-authored peer-reviewed publications appearing in journals such as Nature, Bulletin of Volcanology, Science Advances, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, Remote Sensing, and Sedimentary Geology. Her academic appointments include roles at the University of Waikato School of Science/Te Aka Mātuatua. She maintains an active presence in volcanology research through collaborations on field measurements, gas plume analysis, and paleoseismology applications of tephra layers.
University of Waikato's world-first CT scans and LiDAR mapping uncover hidden earthquake faults in Waikato, Wairarapa, and Auckland, reshaping New Zealand's seismic hazard understanding.
