Vulcanology

Julian's Comments

This group appeared similar to the Space Science group, yet focused on planet earth! The Earth Sciences department have mostly hosted the workshop and allowed the students to maximise use of their facilities to investigate the effects of volcanoes, ash and molten lava. This has proved to be an extremely interesting affair because of the way it allows students to apply science to (what will be for them) a completely new field. Again this group have the benefit of a very hands-on approach and have succeeded very well in their thorough research.
