São Miguel has a long history of volcanic activity, producing eruptions that have varied in style from effusive to highly explosive. On Day 3 of our field trip, students learn about the mechanisms and hazards associated with monogenetic volcanism and caldera-forming eruptions. @es-ucl.bsky.social

Soil diffuse degassing can be a significant hazard on parts of the Azores. On Day 2 of our field trip, our students had a go at taking soil carbon dioxide concentration and flux measurements to investigate the problem. @es-ucl.bsky.social

Our students have been writing blog articles on social vulnerability to natural hazards, and this week we will be sharing links to three of them. The first, written by Sreenidhi Prabagaran, explores Guatemala’s vulnerability to the 2018 eruption at Volcán de Fuego... www.ucl.ac.uk/mathematical... 🌋

On the third day of our Azores field trip, we learnt about structural controls on volcanism, including the formation and hazards associated with calderas and monogenetic fields. Here is the group stood in Sete Cidades caldera on the western margin of São Miguel. @es-ucl.bsky.social

On the second day of our field trip to the Azores, students had a go at taking soil carbon dioxide concentration and flux measurements to investigate soil diffuse degassing, which can be a significant hazard on parts of the island here. @es-ucl.bsky.social
