GeoTenerife is committed to fostering valuable collaborations with local, national, and international research institutions, to both conduct valuable geoscience research in the Canary Islands but also to give our students and interns the best hands-on experience of being involved in important, publishable research projects.
We are always looking to welcome new collaborations, so if you or your company/research institution is interested in collaborating with us, please get in touch with us via enquiries@geotenerife.com
Alexis Schwartz, Volcanologist and Lecturer (GeoTenerife)
Alexis Schwartz is 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. 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.
Genesis,
an EU-funded international consortium.
Our goal is to support regions, local authorities, and communities in addressing climate change vulnerabilities related to potential natural disasters and long-term climate changes impacting groundwater-dependent systems.
In recent years, we have been collaborating with the Canary Islands regional service of IGN, the National Geographic Institute of Spain. IGN is the legally mandated organisation that monitors and reports on volcanic and seismic activity in the Canary Islands. IGN is a member of PEVOLCA, the emergency management committee activated during emergencies.
