Volcanoes, bubbling and unpredictable

Geologists from Animuse present their field experience studying volcanic activity, ash clouds and lava flows, and share scientific observations gathered during close-up research.

The lecture examines eruption dynamics, hazards and internal volcanic processes, taking listeners from airborne ash plumes to lava-swept slopes and into the volcano’s interior to reveal underlying mechanisms and why they matter for hazard assessment. It references pioneers like Haroun Tazieff and Katia and Maurice Krafft.

In French. Ages 6 and up.
