Can we peer into the depths of a super volcano?
In short: Geologist Christopher Jackson explores the complexities of volcanic structures, from underwater vents to the massive systems hidden beneath Yellowstone.
Following his presentation at The Royal Institution on 26 April 2019, Professor Christopher Jackson answers audience inquiries regarding volcanic exploration. The discussion examines the similarities between surface and underwater volcanoes and whether modern techniques can reveal the inner workings of super volcanoes, such as the one located under Yellowstone.
Jackson, a geologist at Imperial College London who earned his PhD at Manchester in 2002, draws on his background in the oil industry in Bergen, Norway, to discuss how Earth's crustal deformation shapes environments and economic resources over deep time.
