  • [EN] From Volcanos to Open Source - John Stevenson
    Apr 21 2025

    My guest is John Stevenson from the British Geological Survey (BGS) and there is a lot to cover in this episode: John's switch from science to engineering; how to move from proprietary to open source software - and the hot stuff: volcanos. And what John did in volcanology.

    Here are a few links:
