Living with volcanoes
On Demand (IF 2020)
Talk | Black History Month, Geology, Literature & Poetry, Travel & Geography
It is 40 years since the eruption of Mount St Helens in USA, 25 years since the Soufriere Hills Volcano began erupting on the Caribbean island of Montserrat and 10 years since ash from an Icelandic eruption shut down Europe’s airspace. This illustrated presentation shares the stories of eyewitnesses to understand how volcanoes erupt, how they affect people, and how communities can learn to live with volcanoes as their neighbours.
