Newhall is a world renowned volcanologist, formerly with the U.S. Geological Survey and since 2008 at the Earth Observatory of Singapore. He is the co-creator of the Volcanic explosivity index and is considered among the worlds leading experts in volcanic prediction. A native Californian and son of an engineer, Newhall went to the Philippines in 1970 under the United States Peace Corps program. For his academic training, Newhall first attended the University of California-Davis (MS degree 1977) and later Dartmouth College, Hanover (PhD 1980) under the supervision of the late Professor Richard Stoiber.

In 2008 he moved to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore to take on the position of senior volcanology group leader at the newly formed Earth Observatory of Singapore.
