![]() These phenomena in Tenerife began with a large eruption, which caused a collapsing boiler, which triggered the seismicity. Regarding his work on the geological phenomena in cascade that Tenerife suffered, published in the Journal of Geophysi cal Research: Solid Earth, concludes that they can occur again "in a geological future because the conditions that occurred continue to occur today." He points out that it does not mean that it will happen tomorrow, "but that it can happen within the geological evolution of Tenerife", something that implies the passage of thousands of years. Joan Martí: "I think there is a lack of organization around the La Palma volcano, we did not learn anything from what happened in El Hierro" ![]() All this, he says, "gives us indications of how it works, when seen live, and allows us to gather very valuable information for the future." "We have the ability to observe the different phases of the volcano and we can learn a lot, for example, about how the first moment with the explosion was, the lava coming out, how it stopped for a few hours and how it was reactivated later," he details. When the Teneguía eruption, was analyzed by researchers from the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and a University of Madrid, but now, with live images from televisions, scientists have at their disposal a very useful document. This is the first surface eruption in Spanish territory that can be rigorously studied. His research on volcanic risk in Tenerife sees the light at a very interesting moment for volcanologists, with the volcano of the Cumbre Vieja massif, in La Palma, in full eruption. These are the tsunamis that the Canary Islands have suffered The work studies the geological process in the cascade of Tenerife, a process that had as a last effect a great tsunami that affected the entire Canary Islands. Joan Martí knows what he is talking about, as he has commanded a research team specialized in reconstructing extreme geological events that cause great natural hazards. ![]() In turn, he explains that "for a situation of these characteristics to occur, a much stronger and more intense seismicity and energy production than has been recorded until now is necessary." Thus, he concludes that "Right now, conditions are not right for a fissure, a landslide or a tsunami to take place". "A tsunami could happen, but it is not likely", highlights. "I would say that at present it is not likely to happen," he says. However, Martí places the possibility of a tsunami in the Canary Islands in the future. ![]()
