Volcanic eruptions - how we monitor what a volcano is doing

GEO Podcast

Show Notes

Reducing the risk to people of volcanic eruptions is an important job for geoscientists. In this episode, we talk about four tools geoscientists can use including earthquakes, deformation, gases, and well water temperatures. This would make a great introduction to students before having them do the Thunder Island volcano simulation activity. Interested in joining us on a trip? Check out our field adventures here.
