Virtual delegates were invited to submit questions in advance of the event which were raised at the final discussion panel. The organisers would like to thank all in-person and virtual delegates for contributing to a great event and lively final discussion.

GeoTenerife in particular would like to thank Eugenio Fraile, Senior Researcher at IEO-CSIC as well as all collaborating speakers and institutions.

We aim to post videos of the sessions and make them openly available, follow our Twitter feed @GeoTenerife for details.

MarineSci Camp is an annual training camp run by GeoTenerife in association with the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO-CSIC) which includes residential onboard research experience with the team responsible for the ongoing monitoring of underwater volcanoes in the Canary Islands; participation in live research projects and SciComm training. For further details see the GeoTenerife MarineSci Camp.
