Are the Phlegraean Fields about to erupt? In this interview, I speak to Professor Olivier Bachmann, volcanologist and professor at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich, about one of the most explosive topics in geoscience: the Phlegraean Fields. This volcanic area near Naples is one of the largest and most dangerous supervolcanoes in the world. What dangers do current activities pose? What is the mysterious phenomenon of bradyseism, and how do scientists like Professor Bachmann monitor this highly active region? We take a look at the historical eruptions, the geological features and the possible global impact of an eruption. The expert also explains which technologies help with monitoring and how geosciences are trying to minimize risks for millions of people. An exciting insight into the world of volcanoes and the interplay of natural forces and modern research - take a look now! ???? ????SUBSCRIBE TO ASTRO-TIM FOR EVEN MORE SPACE KNOWLEDGE: @AstroTim ????You want to use your own planet emojis and watch exclusive videos from me?
