This is for our friend Juan Carlos Carracedo on his 79th birthday, which he celebrates today...We hope that there will be many many many more to follow !!!
Prof. Juan Carlos Carracedo ([ Ссылка ]) is an emeritus professor of Volcanology at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. He graduated from the University Complutense Madrid, Spain, in 1968 with a B.A. and received his PhD in 1976 in geology at the same institution. After a spell as visiting scientist at the University of Toronto, he took up a permanent position on the staff of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) at the National Museum of Natural Sciences (Madrid) from where he moved to the Estación Volcanológica de Canarias (EVC-CSIC) in La Laguna on Tenerife in 1981. He retired from the CISIC in 2011 as a ‘Distinguished Research Professor’, the highest academic degree obtainable at the CISIC. Prof. Carracedo was named as one of the most influential scientists in Spain by a national survey in early 2015 and in recognition of the latter he was appointed a member of the “Canarian Royal Academy of Sciences” in summer 2015. Prof. Carracedo has worked in the Canary Islands for over 40 years and published over 200 scientific articles on the geology, palaeomagnetism and volcanology of the Canary archipelago and authored or co-authored over 20 books and book chapters. He hopes to spark interest and wants to help make science relevant to peoples’ every-day lifes, which is of particular importance in the Canaries, an area with active volcanism, where a good general knowledge of volcanic processes and associated hazards may significantly help to facilitate the management and responses to future eruptive hazards.
