In his role as an editor of the NZ Journal of Geology and Geophysics, he's just put together a two-part special issue which brings together updated knowledge of nearly everything there was to know about volcanology in NZ.  The previous go-to book for this information was dated in 1986 - and we've learned a lot since then!
