Now I am researching almost a quarter of a century on the #primarysuccession on the #Capelinhos #volcano (#Faial/ #Azores)! Here my #television interview in the #RTP (Azorian regional television branch) about that ongoing reserach. I speak #English, interview comments are in #Portugese! #ecology #fieldecology #geobotany #geography #landscapeecology #vegetationscience

I have uploaded my oral presentation ““Capelo mon amour” - Fajã Grande, #Flores, #Capelo, #Faial 1999 – 2023. 24 anos de investigação ecológica e geográfica nos #Açores” in #Kitopen.
Slides are in English, the oral presentation was held in English (80%), French (10%) and Portuguese (10%) #geography #ecology, #FajãGrande #Azores #fieldecology #geobotany #Capelinhos #volcano #primarysuccession #vegetationdynamic

Dr. Sabine Gollner: "The 9°North East #Pacific Rise is an ideal study site to unravel #PrimarySuccession, the rate at which #animal communities colonize #HydrothermalVents after a #volcanic eruption. About every 15-20 years, volcanic eruptions pave the area with #lava, allowing us to study the change in the species structuring a community over time, starting at a point zero."
