En los años transcurridos desde la erupción de Tajogaite en La Palma en 2021, los vulcanólogos han publicado investigaciones que identifican señales precursoras tanto del inicio como del final de la erupción a partir de diversas fuentes de datos. Un estudio reciente ha demostrado incluso que la reactivación del sistema magmático de La Palma se produjo entre 10 y 15 años antes de la erupción. Esto ha llevado a algunos comentaristas locales a cuestionar por qué no se disponía de esta información y no se compartió con el público antes de la erupción, y a preguntarse si se ha ocultado información al público.

In the years since the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, volcanologists have published research identifying precursory signals for both the beginning and end of the eruption from a variety of different data sources. One recent study has even shown evidence that the reactivation of La Palma’s magmatic system occurred 10-15 years before the eruption. This has led some local commenters to question why these insights were not available and shared with the public before the eruption, and question if data has been withheld from the public.
