SUMMARY:Volcano descent
DESCRIPTION:The lecture is free to attend and open to all\, but registratio
 n is required in advance\nAbstract\nVolcanoes are hot\, loud and scary. As
  a result we know little of their internal structure or underlying ‘plum
 bing systems’ and still struggle to predict accurately when they might 
 erupt.\nTo address this\, Chris Jackson\, Professor of Basin Analysis at I
 mperial College London\, is looking deep underground at ancient\, fossili
 sed volcanoes that preserve a record of events prior to\, during\, and aft
 er their historical eruptions. Using 3D seismic reflection data he X-rays 
 the Earth’s interior\, Chris maps out the internal workings of these vol
 canoes with the aim of better understanding when and how active volcanoes\
 , dotted across the Earth’s surface\, may behave.\nIt’s against this b
 ackdrop that Chris was approached by the BBC to take part in a unique adve
 nture. After camping next to an 800 degree lava lake\, Chris and his film
  crew abseiled into Democratic Republic of Congo’s active volcano\, Nyir
 agongo. With clips from his documentary ‘Jungle Volcano’ and go-pro fo
 otage from Chris’s actual descent\, join him for a journey through his c
 areer and experiences exploring these violent windows into our planet’s 
 interior.\nBiography\n\nProfessor Christopher Jackson is Professor of Basi
 n Analytics in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial
  College London. Jackson’s research focuses on geodynamic\, structural\,
  and stratigraphic evolution of sedimentary basins.\nIn 2017 Jackson joine
 d a team of scientists and adventurers to take part in an extraordinary e
 xpedition to volcanoes.The two-part BBC documentary “Expedition Volcan
 o” involved the scientists studying Nyiragongo and Nyamulagira\, two 
 of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes located deep within the African 
 Congo.\nYear of Engineering\nThis year\, the government is running the Ye
 ar of Engineering Campaign to celebrate the fantastic achievements in the 
 world of engineering.\nThe Year of Engineering allows us the opportunity
  to celebrate our collective achievements across Engineering. We remain at
  the forefront of addressing and resolving global grand challenges through
  our world leading teaching and the translation of our research for the be
 nefit of society.\nFind out more about news and events across the Faculty
