My name is Jazmin Scarlett, a PhD student in Earth Science and I am a Historical and Social Volcanologist in training. I am combining the fields of anthropology, historical geography, social psychology, disaster management and volcanology to better understand how people live with their volcanic environment, because I have never been one to be straightforward.
You will find things related to my PhD work on the historical impacts of the volcano La Soufriere on the Caribbean island of St Vincent, and other academic musings involving social and historical volcanology.
Hi Jazmin Scarlett
Your Blog is really interesting. I am also looking at going into a career in volcanology, having completed a degree in environmental hazards and disaster managment.
I would recommend reading eruptions that shook the world by Clive Oppenheimer it combines the scientific and social elements of volcanology expertly.
I was wondering if it would be possible to contact you regarding adivice about how you have found studying volcanology and the route you took to study your Phd?
Thanks
