Tajogaite

On this episode we travel to La Palma where we discuss its volcanic history and formation, as well as the 2021 Tajogaite eruption which made international headlines. We have four guests this episode, with a range of expertise. Kendra Ní Nualáinn will be talking about why there is a need to keep a constant watchful eye on the activity of the Canary Islands. Rosie Rice will be talking about her work with the local people on La Palma whose lives were turned upside down following the 2021 eruption. Lucia Dominguez on why this was a 'hybrid' eruption and the impact falling tephra had on local buildings and finally, Romy Meyer on why she visited La Palma to collect paleomagnetic data and why La Palma was chosen as the ideal fieldwork site.
