About

My name is Jazmin Scarlett, a PhD student in Earth Science specialising in Historical and Social Volcanology. I have recently passed my viva (defence). I combine the fields of anthropology, historical geography, social psychology, disaster management and volcanology to better understand how people live in 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, other academic musings involving social and historical volcanology and recently a sub-series in reviewing the representation of volcanism in videogames.
