Set within a string of Caribbean islands, Montserrat has been feted as the area’s ‘emerald isle’ thanks to its lush rainforest landscape and dramatic mountainous peaks.
On 18 July 1995, for the first time in 350 years, the Soufrière Hills Volcano awoke from its dormancy, and has since dominated life on the island. The population has dropped from about 11,000 to 4,500. Most Montserratians live in the UK.
But there's a chance that the very thing that has devastated the island could be the spark of its rebirth.
A group of researchers from the Oxford Martin School's Rethinking Natural Resources (ReSET) programme – working with the Montserratian Volcano Observatory (MVO), the Montserratian Government and Montserratian communities both on island and in the UK – have been investigating how the volcano could yield geothermal power and a variety of metals that could represent significant economic value for the island and its people.
