Volcanoes everywhere…Is there a link? (EARTH Magazine article)
Posted by Jessica Ball
Like Brian over at Clastic Detritus and Callan of Mountain Beltway, I’ve also recently contributed an article to EARTH Magazine’s website. Mine talks about the recent eruptions at Pacaya and Tungurahua, with a little bit of exposition on the inevitable question of whether they’re linked. (Nope!)
I’m digging into some research in the next few weeks, so posting will be a little sparse (again). I’ll try to get the Volcano Vocab feature started up again, though – I’ve been sadly neglecting it.
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.
