Disasters are a constant part of life on islands - but outsiders often just see the stats: storm categories, earthquake scales, eruption sizes. Behind those numbers are real people forced to live through harrowing experiences. In this episode, Matt and Emily ask: how do survivors make sense of the shock - and how do their stories help communities rebuild what was lost? In “Island Voices”, Darenthea Sweeney from Montserrat and Gregory Adams from the British Virgin Islands describe the lasting social effects of disasters. As a disaster management expert, Emily breaks it down for us in the 'Explainer'. Then, three academics – Adom Philogene Heron, Farah Nibbs and Gemma Sou – share how they work with communities affected by disasters to tell their own stories and push back against outside narratives. Finally, in “No Stupid Questions” Matt and Emily discuss whether anyone can ever truly prepare for a disaster on the scale faced by many small islands. Featuring: Emily Wilkinson (host) | RESI Director and Principal Research Fellow at ODI Matthew Bishop (host) | RESI Director and Senior Lecturer at the University of Sheffield Darenthea Sweeney | Schoolteacher and Climate Justice Leader, Montserrat Gregory Adams | Chief Planner, Government of the Virgin Islands Adom Philogene Heron | Lecturer in Visual Anthropology, University of Bristol, UK Farah Nibbs | Assistant Professor, Emergency and Disaster Health Systems, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, United States Gemma Sou | Senior Lecturer in Human Geography, Monash University, Australia Resources: Programme page | Resilient and Sustainable Islands Initiative (RESI) Emily's documentary | Climate Blueprint: Dominica Adom's university webpage | Dr Adom Philogene Heron Farah's university webpage | Dr Farah Nibbs Adam and Farah's project | Surviving Storms: Caribbean Cyclone Cartography Gemma's university webpage | Dr Gemma Sou Gemma's personal webpage | www.gemmasou.com RESI research on loss and damage | The price of a changing climate | Calculating loss and damage from extreme weather events | The costs of inaction | Barriers to addressing climate-related loss and damage Hosted on Acast.

From burying Pompeii in ash and pyroclastic waves to raining debris across the Mediterranean during WWII, Vesuvius has earned its title as the angriest volcano in history.

Scientists are warning that a massive volcanic eruption could happen way sooner than we think. Some of the world's most powerful volcanoes are showing signs of waking up, and experts are keeping a very close eye on them. Small earthquakes, rising magma, and gas emissions are all pointing to something big brewing underground. If one of these giants erupts, it could affect everything—flights, weather, and even global temperatures. The good news? Scientists are working hard to predict when and where it might happen. The bad news? Nature doesn't always play by the rules.

One expert has warned Aucklanders should be prepared for the chance of a volcanic eruption. Civil Defence estimates there's a 10 percent risk it could happen in the next 50 years. It could cost $65 billion in building damage alone. Victoria University's Dr Finn Illsley Kemp says we'd get a decent warning before an eruption - but every aspect will be expensive, including evacuating the city. "We do think we'll get a warning when it is on the way, because this magma has to come from quite deep - we should be able to see it when it's on its' way, but when it's on the move, it doesn't hang around."

Scientists are keeping a close eye on supervolcanoes, because if one erupts, it could be game over for humanity! These massive volcanoes, like the one under Yellowstone, have the power to blast so much ash into the sky that it could block out the sun for years. That means global cooling, failed crops, and total chaos. While eruptions this big are rare, experts say it's not a matter of if, but when. The good news? Scientists are working on ways to predict and prepare for such a disaster. But if a supervolcano decides to blow, we might just have to hope for the best!

A new tool created using AI could help forecast volcanic eruptions around the world. University of Canterbury associate professor David Dempsey spoke to Alexa Cook.

Volcanologist Teresa Ubide opens volcanoes up from the outside, like a doll's house, searching for tiny crystal balls to help her predict when the next eruption might occurHumans have always had a complicated relationship with volcanoes — they are striking to look at and create fertile soils for farming, but they can be destructive and deadly.Today, around 10 per cent of the world's population lives within 100km of an active volcano, which means volcanology — the science of studying volcanoes — is becoming increasingly important.Volcanologists like Teresa Ubide, spend their time getting to know the 'personalities' of different volcanoes: how they work, the composition of the magma, the likelihood of eruption, and how spectacular that explosion of lava could be.When Teresa was a little girl, a teacher opened her imagination up to what she calls the 'guts of a volcano' and today, as an Australian Research Council Future Fellow and a lecturer at the University of Queensland, she travels the world visiting volcanoes and predicting their future by looking at tiny crystal balls.This episode of Conversations explores natural disasters, Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, La Palma, Stromboli, Spain, Italy, Argentina, copper mining, sustainable mining, electric vehicles, smartphones, geology, magma, exploration, epic history, chemistry.

Historical accounts, archaeological data and recent environmental research brought to light multiple accounts, where the fates of entire civilizations have been affected by climatic events and resulting social conflict. In this episode of archaeological context, we focus on the first century BCE in the eastern Mediterranean region. A period marked by the end of the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Recent multidisciplinary research by the guest of this episode, Dr Joe Manning from the Yale University, has highlighted the pivotal role played by a massive volcanic eruption in Alaska and resulting climatic fluctuations, that likely helped to trigger this transformative moment in the middle of the first century BCE.Show Contact Info Get in contact archaeologicalcontext@gmail.com Subscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@archcontext Follow on instagram https://www.instagram.com/archaeological_context/ Support on patreon https://www.patreon.com/archcontext Music by crying vesselhttps://www.youtube.com/user/CryingVesselVideoArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion

Volcanic eruptions are not unusual in Iceland, but they rarely require residents to evacuate their homes. One resident from the village of Grindavik talks about what it's like to watch lava engulf her town and set homes ablaze. Also, like many cities in the US, Dakar, Senegal, has a street named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Most residents there don't know the street name, but they do know about the man behind it. And, the art of hacking has become stealthier and smarter over the years. Chinese hackers are particularly capable of hiding their code used to infiltrate systems around the world.

Saturday, the entire coastal town of Grindavik, Iceland was evacuated. That's because over the weekend, the country experienced nearly 2,000 earthquakes within 48 hours. And they've kept coming since then – in swarms. Scientists think the quakes are indicative of magma moving closer to the surface in the country's southwestern peninsula and that a local volcano could erupt at any moment. Today on the show, host Regina G. Barber talks to volcanologist Diana Roman about the science behind these earthquakes. Got science to share? Email us at shortwave@npr.org.
