Sorry for the sparse posting again – I’m on a whirlwind tour of the wilds of the Blue Ridge, followed by the wilds of…Buffalo’s rental communities! Hopefully I’ll have time to do some posting this week in between inspecting apartments and trying not to get lost in Western NY.
Coming up: blue quartz, structure cubes and earthquake initiatives.
Jessica Ball is a graduate student in the Department of Geology at State University of New York at Buffalo, where she is learning how to safely and productively play with very hot rocks. Her PhD research focuses on the interaction of water and lava domes, and involves both field investigations and modeling applications. Her blogging covers a range of topics, from life as a grad student to geoscience outreach to (of course!) her field and lab work in volcanology.
