Here’s a good resource for anyone who’s introducing students to Earth science, trying to keep it in or add it to a curriculum, or anyone who wants to see really cool animations. It’s AGI’s “Why Earth Science” video, which they’ve recently posted on the web.
There’s also an accompanying brochure available for downloading in English and Spanish versions.
Jessica Ball is a volcanologist at the U.S. Geological Survey, researching volcanic hydrothermal systems and stability, and doing science communication for the California Volcano Observatory. She previously worked at the Geological Society of America's Washington DC Policy Office, learning about the intersection of Earth science and legislative affairs. Her Mendenhall postdoc and PhD focused on how water affects the stability of volcanoes, and involved both field investigations and numerical modeling applications. Her blogging covers a range of topics, from her experiences in academic geosciences to science outreach and communication to her field and lab work in volcanology.

You just like the opening shot of Mt. St. Helens. Thanks for the link.
