Ms Howe, who is pursuing a doctorate in Volcanology, worked with the DMCA on advancing its National Tsunami Project to ensure the island is prepared and ready in the event Montserrat should be impacted by a tsunami.
Ms Howe joins Dr Thomas Christopher, who is leading the scientific team in the studying and monitoring of activity at the La Soufrière Volcano along with Mr Rod Stewart, both from the MVO.
The management and staff at the DMCA thanked Ms Howe for her months of hard work and dedication in advancing the National Tsunami project and wish her all the best and every success in her future endeavours. We know she’ll continue to make Montserrat proud.
