MEET THE @GEOINTERN
@Geo_francesca, #geochem + #petrology masters student @uni_copenhagen, came “to study rocks microbiologically. What microbes are involved? Do they affect colour? Is water critical? I like volcanic environments: they’re extreme yet life can thrive.” @NPosth

[Francesca Bertolino @Geo_francesca]

Look at the beauty of this water gallery here in Tenerife. A 3 km long way full of microbial life that together with other almost 1100 “galerias” provide the 80% of the water supply to the population. @GeoTenerife @GeoIntern @CampSciComm #water #Tenerife #Microbiology

This is how to multitask! @GeoTenerife students capturing video for their #scicomm vlogs as they learn about Tenerife's geology #volcanology #geology @CampSciComm @hanachronism

Today in the field with the astonishing Juan Carlos Carracedo explains us its extensive work towards the understanding of the geology of the Canary Islands. @GeoTenerife @CampSciComm #Geology #volcanology #Canary

[Francesca Bertolino @Geo_francesca]

The bark of the Pinus canariensis is so thick that it can resist fire. After such a destructive event its bark becomes black but the tree manages to survive and within a few years it is capable of resprouting. 🌱 @GeoTenerife @CampSciComm #Pine #Canary #nature

This is Teide Volcano with the so called “Sea of clouds” to the right. Here the clouds form when the moist air from the sea meets the land giving such a spectacular view! @GeoTenerife @CampSciComm #volcano #Tenerife #science #geology #scicomm

Ready to start the @Geointern summer programme here in Tenerife! 🌋 Can’t wait to discover the geology of this amazing island! #geology #geointern #Tenerife
