Lyon 1 University to host lecture on Piton de la Fournaise volcano

Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 will host a scientific evening on November 4, 2026, focused on the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. Geophysicist Andrea Di Muro will present findings regarding the volcano's recent eruptive activity, which began on February 13, 2026, after a three-year period of dormancy.

The presentation will cover geodynamic context, historical data, and insights from a March 2026 mission conducted between the summit and 40 meters below sea level. The event will take place at the Centre culturel de la vie associative in Villeurbanne.
