Winter Lecture: Volcanoes ‘unplugged’

Join us for November’s Winter Lecture of the series as we focus on volcanoes ‘unplugged’ (or what its really like to experience a volcanic eruption).

Scientists are meant to view the subject of their research with detached objectivity, but during volcanic eruptions they live and work with communities dealing with ash, evacuations and general mayhem.

For decades, scientists at Bristol University have been responding to volcanic crises in the Eastern Caribbean, profoundly influencing their research. Montserrat (one of these volcanic islands) is also a literary island, and creatives have also responded to these challenges.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship from the Friends of Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives , this season’s Winter Lectures will be held in person at M Shed and online via Zoom.

Tickets are pay what you can!
