Fire and Coral - The Fragile Balance of the Caribbean

"Fire and Coral: The Fragile Balance of the Caribbean" highlights the fascinating research of Prof. Thomas Sheldrake and his team (Frank Förster and James Vincent) from the University of Geneva. They are studying how coral skeletons might enhance our understanding of tropical volcanic eruptions. We had the privilege of filming this exciting research project during a field mission in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in February 2024.
