Volcanic eruptions - how we monitor what a volcano is doing

Published: Feb. 28, 2021, 3 p.m.

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.
