Research Roundup: Destruction of a coastal volcanic cone by waves in western Faial, Azores
Research and impact 21st September 2020
PhD student Zhongwei Zhao’s research has revealed how erosion by waves is destroying a volcanic cone in the Azores, first quickly and then more slowly. We highlight two recent publications that Zhongwei has contributed to, with implications that include the possibility of predicting erosion trends and the creation of shallow banks and guyots in reef‐less mid‐oceanic archipelagos.
