Janine Krippner is a volcanologist from New Zealand specializing in explosive volcanism, in particular, pyroclastic flows (hot, fast avalanches of rock and gas). She is also working on a project to create online content using archived photographs to describe volcanic landforms, processes, and hazards for research and public use. Janine is passionate about improving global understanding of volcanic hazards and safety, and working with media is an important part of this. She uses social media to raise awareness of volcanic activity, hazards, safety, and preparedness during volcanic lulls, and improve access to high-quality information during a volcanic crisis.
