Rate My Professor Sophia Tsang

Tsang's research specializations encompass effusive volcanic hazards and geoscience education. She applies computational and analogue modeling, field and laboratory methods, and qualitative social science approaches to address community-relevant challenges, supporting UN SDGs like Quality Education (SDG 4) and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11). With 17 research outputs, her influential publications include 'Developing a suite of multi-hazard volcanic eruption scenarios using an interdisciplinary approach' (Hayes et al., 2020; 62 citations), 'Lava flow crises in inhabited areas part I: lessons learned and research gaps related to effusive, basaltic eruptions' (Tsang and Lindsay, 2020; 26 citations), 'The DEVORA scenarios: multi-hazard eruption scenarios for the Auckland Volcanic Field' (Hayes et al., 2018; 23 citations), and 'The heating of substrates beneath basaltic lava flows' (Tsang et al., 2019; 20 citations). Recent works cover children's food gardening ('Children’s food gardening: valuing experiential, intergenerational and multi-cultural learning', Sharp et al., 2025) and composting knowledge (Tsang et al., 2025). At Monash, she coordinates first-year units EAE1011 and EAE1022, supervises PhD students, and peer-reviews for Scientific Data.
