PUBLIC TALK: The Auckland Volcanic Field

Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is home to around 1.5 million people and at least 53 volcanoes. Luckily, these volcanoes are the 'one-and-done' type of volcano, and unlikely to erupt again...

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean the Auckland Volcanic Field is done with us! As a potentially active volcanic field, it's possible that a new volcano could form somewhere in Auckland at some point in the future. While it's impossible to know exactly where or when, we can predict what future eruptions might be like by investigating Auckland's volcanic past. Come along to explore future scenarios, and find out what we can do to prepare for Auckland's next volcano.

This public talk is being held as part of EarthFest - Festival of Earth Science.
