1 Author Biographies Juan Carlos Carracedo: A prestigious research professor of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) and director of the Estación Volcanológica de Canarias (EVC) until 2011 is now an emeritus research associate at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (GEOVOL GROUP). Prof. Carracedo has worked in the Canary Islands over 40 years and published over 200 scientific articles on the geology, palaeomagnetism and geomorphology of the Canaries. jcarracedo@proyinves.ulpgc.es. Valentin R. Troll: Lectured in volcanology and petrology at Trinity College Dublin for seven years before taking up the Chair in Petrology and Geochemistry at Uppsala University, Sweden in Prof. Troll has worked on the volcanic phenomena of the Canary Islands since the late 1990s and has published over 25 scientific articles on the geology, petrology and geochemical characteristics of the archipelago. valentin.
