- Department of Geoscience

At Geoscience we teach courses in geohazards and volcanology. Often the events do not take place at the same time as the teaching, but right now it is possible to follow live from a volcanic eruption. At La Palma in the Canary Islands, there is plenty of activity at the Cumbre Vieja volcano. Watch the live view here.

Imaginative research experiments receive millions

Christoffer Karoff, Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University
- Department of Geoscience

Associate Professor Christoffer Karoff from Geoscience is one of the recipients. He receives 2 million DKK for a project to construct a prototype for monitoring methane emissions from space. It is the Villum Experiment program that distributes the funds, where 19.7 million out of a pool of 99 million goes to the Faculty of Natural Sciences at AU.
