GeoTenerife's full time Volcanologist
Alexis Schwartz is a GeoTenerife’s full-time resident expert Volcanologist and Geologist. He has an extensive knowledge of local outcrops, geology and volcanology and spent many years researching the islands for the local volcano monitoring institution and for his thesis at the University of Leicester, titled “Petrogenesis and Physical Volcanology of a compositionally zoned ignimbrite on Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain”.
He also has a wealth of past teaching experience including an established career as a geoscience tour guide in the Canary Island. Alexis helps to organise and facilitate much of GeoTenerife’s research on Tenerife, particularly in site selection, and has also been involved with international geological research relating to the 2021 eruption on La Palma.
Hannah began co-leading GeoTenerife’s science communication training in 2021 and draws on her wealth of experience and innate enthusiasm for the topic to deliver captivating lectures to our students. The science communication training with Hannah aims to prepare students for any future science communication challenges and hopes to ensure that the students have the best strategies for clearly communicating scientific concepts, whether that is in industry, teaching, academia or elsewhere.
Before going into academia, Hannah worked in science communication professionally. She worked full-time coordinating the STEM Ambassador programme and the Nuffield Research Placements in the North East of England. Since then, she has facilitated science communication training with many organisations, including the British Council, the UK Environment Agency and “I’m a scientist, get me out of here!”
