“Derby equipped me with a degree that emphasizes practical knowledge, integrating extensive field excursions and hands-on geoscientific skills directly applicable in the mining and exploration sectors. The degree's focus on real-world skills, rather than being narrowly centred on academic niche topics, has been invaluable to my career. ”

Yesterday, #PEVOLCA (Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan) scientists issued a press release about changes in activity at Teide, although there are currently no signs of eruption.

What does the press release say? What does it mean for you?
