Final Discussion Panel
Moderator: Sharon Backhouse, GeoTenerife, Dr. Eugenio Fraile-Nuez (IEO-CSIC), Dr. Itahiza Domínguez (IGN), Dr. Ramón Casillas (ULL), Dra. Ana Raquel Díaz (IPNA-CSIC), Dr. Samuel J. Mitchell (IAVCEI).
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.
