Tamsin Mather has been studying volcanoes for over 20 years, her work as a professor of Earth sciences at the University of Oxford has taken her across the globe chasing eruptions and monitoring gas plumes to study their impacts on the earth’s atmosphere. Her new book Adventures in Volcanoland: What Volcanoes Tell Us About the World and Ourselves takes us along with her, exploring humanity's complex relationship with these fiery giants through history, art and science. The book charts a course from the rock beneath our feet to the atmosphere above us and even beyond to extraterrestrial volcanoes on distant exoplanets.
