Volcanologists, Dr Geoff Kilgour and Dr Janine Kripner, travelled from New Zealand to visit La Palma to collaborate with GeoTenerife to research how the lava flows during the 2021 Tajogaite eruption impacted and destroyed thousands of homes. This research is essential to help inform scenario planning and modelling of future damages in the event of an eruption in the densely populated Auckland prepare. This research was funded by the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tu Ake (NHC) and access to the Tajogaite lava flows facilitated by Sharon Backhouse (GeoTenerife).
