This is a recognition for the efforts made over the last 30 years to contribute to the improvement of volcanic surveillance, surface geothermal exploration, and, in general, geosciences and environmental studies in the Canary Islands, as well as in other regions of the world. Nemesio M. Pérez Rodríguez, the scientific [...]
The study presents significant advances in understanding the explosive dynamics of the Tajogaite volcano during the 2021 eruption. A new study on the temporal variability of explosive activity at the Tajogaite volcano, Cumbre Vieja (Canary Islands), during the 2021 eruption using ground-based infrared photography and videography has just been published [...]
These three administrations have each requested 15 million euros from the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving. Since 2017, they have been advocating for the conventional geothermal development in the Canary Islands, supporting and co-financing surface geothermal exploration research on their respective islands through the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan). [...]
The study reveals that volcanic ashes from the Tajogaite volcano in La Palma may have adverse effects on human health, according to a scientific publication by ITER and INVOLCAN. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) and the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute (INVOLCAN) announce the recent publication of the [...]
This campaign, conducted in collaboration with the universities of La Laguna, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Castilla-La Mancha, and Cape Verde, aims to identify the potential of volcano tourism in the region. Researchers from the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN), the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), [...]
The study, led by postgraduate student Iván Cabrera-Pérez, who is conducting his Doctoral Thesis at the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) under the supervision of Dr. Luca D'Auria, has recently been published in the prestigious international scientific journal Scientific Reports. The research involved collaboration with investigators from various [...]
The visit included two working sessions on the challenges of sustainable transportation in island territories and environmental management in volcanic areas, culminating with a visit to the Bioclimatic Houses of ITER, as an example of a real-scale bioclimatic laboratory that combines architecture and sustainability. On Monday, July 24th, the Institute [...]
The sessions will take place at the Cultural Center of the municipality, and attendance will be free and open to the general public.
