Volcanoes are big, hot, loud, and scary; because of this, we know little of their internal structure or underlying 'plumbing system', despite them representing a global natural hazard.

Prof Christopher Jackson is a geologist at Imperial College, London, UK. Having completed his PhD at Manchester in 2002, and having worked in the oil industry in Bergen, Norway, he moved to Imperial College in 2004 to pursue an academic career. Chris’ research focuses on how the Earth’s crust deforms, and how this deformation influenced the types of environments and economic resources developed in deep time.

This talk and Q&A were filmed at the Ri on 26 April 2019.
