Dear all,
This is just to let you know about an exhibit relating to (20th century) volcanism in the Caribbean at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in Carlton House Terrace, London, from July 4-9, 2023. Entry is free and no booking is required. The exhibit opens with a Lates event (6-10 pm July 4th), and then opens daily at 10 am from July 5th to July 9th.
Our team from Oxford, University of East Anglia and University of the West Indies are running a hands-on installation called ‘Sensing Volcanoes’ which explores the recent volcanic histories of St Vincent and Montserrat, from the perspectives of both the scientists and the communities who have experienced these events, using archival sources to provide a deeper and richer historical context. The Sensing Volcanoes collaboration includes colleagues from The National Archives and The Royal Society, and our exhibit draws on archive materials from the British Geological Survey, the Carnegie Institution, the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, the Montserrat National Trust, the Montserrat Public Library, and the Yorkshire Museum.
