Interview with Haroun Tazieff about La Soufrière

Publication date 13/09/1976 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

While it has been almost four weeks since Basse Terre, at the foot of the Soufrière volcano in Guadeloupe, was evacuated, scientists are opposed to Haroun Tazieff’s optimistic thesis. Asked about the controversy, the famous vulcanologist recalls his scientific titles and repeats that a catastrophic eruption is not currently planned. He regrets the haste of government scientists who evacuated the site without thorough studies.

Interview with Vulcan scientist Maurice Krafft

Publication date 12/04/1986 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

Maurice KRAFFT, in an assembly room of FR3 Franche Comté, compares the volcanologist to a doctor and describes the signs that allow to detect a volcanic eruption. He recalls that volcanoes kill and that in five years "five colleagues have been torn apart by volcanic eruptions".

Haroun Tazieff on the dangerousness of volcanoes

Publication date 26/07/1972 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

Invited to the Screen Folders, volcanologist Haroun Tazieff talks about the world’s largest volcano, the Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii, which he says is colossal but one of the least dangerous in the world. He explains that a smaller, more explosive volcano can be infinitely more dangerous. "The danger does not come from the volume, but from the quantity and pressure of the gases in the magma," he stresses.

Report devoted to the exercises of evacuation and awareness of the dangers of Vesuvius in Naples, a first in Italy and even in the world. Plans and microsidewalk of volunteers participating in the general rehearsal of the evacuation simulation. Interview of a first aid attendant. Plateau by Gérard GRIZBEC.

Katia Krafft about explosive volcanism

Publication date 10/05/1990 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

Katia KRAFFT talks about the risks of her job as a volcanologist and about the secrets of eruptions she hopes to discover as she approaches volcanoes. She says: 'I don’t like danger, but by being in somewhat impressive situations one always wants to have more, and especially to go closer to be able to observe (...). For all that is explosive, the Pelee Mountain, Mount St Helens, the Indonesian volcanoes, there are still many things that we did not understand in the course of the eruption."

Haroun Tazieff on volcano formation

Publication date 17/05/1957 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

Haroun TAZIEFF recalls that the phenomena of volcano formation are still hypothetical. He answers the question of the choice of the terms "vulcanologist" or "volcanologist".

Haroun Tazieff on the awakening of the volcanoes Pinatubo and Unzen

Publication date 16/06/1991 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

On the plateau, Haroun TAZIEFF talks about the situation in the Philippines and Japan after the revival of the Pinatubo and Unzen volcanoes. He believes that if volcanoes were monitored, disasters could be avoided.

Furnace Piton Volcano Prevention System

Publication date 24/07/2014 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

French scientists have set up a system to test the interior of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano on Reunion Island to monitor its activity and anticipate its eruptions. They implanted sensors on the flanks of the volcano. Images of a volcanic eruption, work plans of the researchers on site. Interviews with Philippe KOWALSKI, Deputy Director of the Observatoire volcanologique de la Fournaise (registered on 01/07/2014) and with Florent BRENGUIER, physicist.

Eruption of Etna in Zafferana, Sicily

Publication date 14/04/1992 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

While Etna still threatens the village of Zaferalla in Sicily, relief forces are trying to stop the flow of lava by sending concrete blocks to the edge of the volcano’s crater. The inhabitants accuse the Italian authorities of not having mobilized in time to protect the place. Images of a helicopter in flight, lava progression, a burning house. Interview with Franco BARBERI, coordinator of civil protection (in Italian). Plateau in situation of Jean-Louis LESCENE, special envoy to Sicily.

The Piton de la Fournaise under control

Publication date 12/07/2006 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

A report shot at the La Réunion volcanological observatory, which, since the beginning of July, has been measuring increased activity at the Piton de la Fournaise. Commentary on images of scientists on the sides of the volcano near the monitoring facilities, alternating with an interview with Philippe KOWALSKI, Technical Director of the Observatory.

Volcanologists at the bedside of Nyiragongo

Publication date 25/01/2002 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

In the Congo, volcanologists who are checking the Nyiragongo volcano’s eruption fear that the lava flowing into Lake Kivu will explode the enormous quantities of toxic gas buried under the lake, which could rise to the surface. The seismic activity of the volcano remains very strong and volcanologists lack recoil for this type of eruption, very rare, as Jacques DURIEUX explains. Dario TEDESCO, a geologist consultant at the UN, believes that the risks of eruption in the coming months or years are a great danger for the people.

Formation of a lava lake at the bottom of the Piton de la Fournaise crater in La Réunion

Publication date 27/10/2006 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

The story of the volcanic activity of the Piton de la Fournaise in La Réunion. After eight weeks of volcanic eruption, a lava lake formed at the bottom of the crater. Plans of the formation of this lava lake.

Visit of the natural volcanic pipelines of Piton de la Fournaise

Publication date 25/11/2005 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

Speleological visit of the natural volcanic pipelines of the Piton de la Fournaise in La Réunion, which were dug during the last lava flows, early October 2005. Plans of an expedition of cavers and volcanologists.

The aftermath of the Nyiragongo volcano eruption in Goma

Publication date 03/02/2002 From €100.00

Active volcanoes

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, two weeks after the Nyiragongo volcano erupted, more than 300,000 people still need help. Specialists monitoring the volcano’s activity are very concerned. Volcanologists on the spot multiply the observations because the Nyiragongo, located 15 kilometres from Goma, is still very active, as confirmed by the frequent earthquakes that shake the region. Interviews with Jean Christophe KOMOROWSKI, geologist at the Institut physique du globe de Paris, Jacques DURIEUX, volcanologist and Dieudonné KAVOTA, volcanologist at the Goma Observatory. Aerial views of the eruption area, plans of the magma, a group of on-site volcanologists and the CRSN-Goma volcanological observatory.
