Chasing Volcanoes
Science talk with Vin & Videnskab
CLIVE OPPENHEIMER (England), Award-winning professor of volcanology from the University of Cambridge
NB: The talk will be in English
Our international guest of the Autumn season is Clive Oppenheimer, a professor of volcanology from the University of Cambridge. He has spent about three decades studying volcanoes, from Antarctica, where he has conducted fieldwork on Mount Erebus for 13 seasons, to remote Pacific islands, East African war zones and North Korea. He has made two films with Werner Herzog: Into the Inferno (2016) and Fireball (2020).
Tonight, Clive Oppenheimer will talk about his exploration of volcanoes around the world and give us insights into how far volcanologists have come in understanding how volcanoes work, and how their eruptions have acted to change history.
A glass of wine will be served during the intermission (included in the price).
COVID-19: See our initiatives to give you a safe experience.

CLIVE OPPENHEIMER studied Natural Sciences, and has a PhD in remote sensing of volcanoes. He is now Professor of Volcanology at the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge. He has a nose for volcanic gases, and his research tackles the underlying mechanisms of volcanic eruptions, their long-range climatic and societal impacts, and the development of techniques for volcano monitoring. He wrote "Eruptions that Shook the World" (2011), and received the Leif Erikson Award (Iceland; 2018) for "a lifetime achievement in exploration".
