Bio: Geology is the passion of Gazel’s life. Since his childhood, earthquakes and volcanoes have motivated his curiosity to understand the secrets of the planet. His team studies processes in our planet’s interior that produce magmas, volcanoes, and contribute to planetary evolution. Population growth, the risk of natural hazards, climate change, and the need for new suitable energy solutions increase the need for highly trained Earth scientists. His mission is to contribute to the education of the next generations and bring solutions to these challenges.
