Episode Synopsis

A team from UCL Earth Sciences is taking part in a project
that involves drilling into an active volcano in southern Italy. Scientists
will deploy sensors in a 4km-deep borehole and analyse recovered rock as
they try to determine what risk the volcano poses to people living nearby
and whether it could be a source of geothermal energy.
