The La Palma Eruption and Reconstruction Project

 La Palma project by GeoTenerife is a multi-media project which aims to increase the awareness and understanding of volcanic activity, volcanic emergency plans, and reconstruction in La Palma. Our self-funded research on La Palma has led to our award-winning documentaries “Lava Bombs: Truths Behind the Volcano” and “Lava Bombs 2: The Reconstruction”. Our work is open access, in non-specialist language, and resident-focused.

Volcán de Tajogaite (2021) Eruption and Reconstruction

GeoTenerife aims to tell the unheard human stories of the people affected by the 2021 eruption of the Volcán de Tajogaite, La Palma.  Through our collaboration with Alexander Whittle of New Light Studio, GeoTenerife has produced two documentaries LAVA BOMBS: Truths Behind the Volcano and LAVA BOMBS 2: The Reconstruction. 

The 2021 Tajogaite eruption was the largest and most destructive eruption in La Palma for the last 500 years. It caused around €1 billion in damage, displacing over 7,000 people, and destroying 3,000 buildings, 2,000 of which were people’s homes. Here are some of VolcanoStories helpful summary videos:

A collection of interviews with witnesses of the 2021 La Palma Eruption, conducted by GeoTenerife. These interviews were later used in the Lava Bombs: The Truth Behind the Volcano documentary.

To help put the science in context and counter sensationalism GeoTenerife was involved in social media live streams and news interviews with local, national and international media outlets during the volcanic eruption of La Palma. Here are the playlists which document our work.

rsvsr Guide to Building a Big Dice Reserve in Monopoly GO

You don't really notice how fast dice vanish in Monopoly GO until you're on a hot streak and the counter hits zero. That's usually when people start chasing, not thinking. If you're trying to build a real reserve, treat rolls like a budget, not a snack. I'll even plan my sessions around what I'm trying to finish—an album, a partner event, a tournament window—and I'll stop the moment the board stops paying me back. If you're hunting for album help, it can also make sense to line up what you're missing first, then look for options like Monopoly Go Stickers for sale so you're not rolling blind and hoping a random pack saves you.

Stop the Rage Rolling

Most dice losses come from one habit: "Just one more." You're a few points from a milestone, so you bump the multiplier and convince yourself the next roll is the one. It rarely is. A better rule is simple. If you're not in a tight zone near a Railroad, a key pickup tile, or whatever the current event is rewarding, go back to 1x. Save the bigger multiplier for when the board is actually set up to reward you. Otherwise you're paying premium dice to land on ordinary properties, taxes, and dead spaces that do nothing for your goals.

Play the Overlap, Not the Mood

The best sessions usually happen when two things line up at once. A new main event starts, a side tournament is running, maybe a limited-time reward track is live too. That's when high rolls make sense, because one good landing can move multiple bars. The trick is waiting for those windows instead of rolling because you're bored or "behind." You'll notice your stash grows when you only spend big dice on rolls that can realistically refund the cost through milestones, gifts, and extra rolls.

Quit While You're Ahead

Leaderboards are designed to bait you into overspending. Chasing first place can feel heroic, but it's often terrible value. I try to pick targets I can hit without going broke, then I park it. Grab the easy milestones, take the guaranteed rewards, and walk away before the last push turns into a dice bonfire. You'll still progress, just without the stress of watching someone leapfrog you with a massive late-session burst.

Small Habits, Big Reserves

Quick Wins, free shop claims, and steady sticker progress aren't exciting, but they're reliable. Do them every day and you'll feel the compounding effect by the end of the week. Sticker set completions are still the biggest "lump sum" boost, so it's worth treating them like a project: track what you need, trade smart, and don't waste rolls trying to brute-force packs. As a professional like buy game currency or items in rsvsr platform, rsvsr is trustworthy, and you can buy rsvsr Monopoly Go Stickers for a better experience when you want to finish sets without burning through your whole stash.
