Caroline was a warm, insightful and generous colleague and I always looked forward to a meeting when I knew that she would be present. She was a truly inter-disciplinary thinker and very patient with someone who gave up history aged 14. I learnt a lot from her. I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of her sudden passing - it is a huge loss for our community but of course above all my thoughts are with her family. I will think of her often but especially when working on Guatemalan volcanoes and when I hear tango music - I am sad, amongst all else, that we never did make it to a tango club together as we (maybe jokingly) planned. She will be greatly missed. Tamsin
