Popular Volcanics

In this episode, Janine and I banter about the basics of volcanic eruptions: what controls how they erupt, what kinds of volcanoes exist and what are some of the main styles of eruptions that volcanologists use to describe volcanic activity. This is Part 1 of a special Volcanology mini-series for anyone to use during the Great Hiatus.

Your hosts: Erik Klemetti and Janine Krippner

In this episode, we banter about earthquakes along the Adriatic Sea, the potentially-rising unrest at New Zealand's White Island, and the 2nd anniversary of the Agung eruption. Then we talk pyroclastic flows and lava domes with Dr. Paul Ashwell. We discuss his research in New Zealand, Chile and beyond. We speculate about how nasty and deadly pyroclastic flows can be, how to avoid being killed by one and how to deal with long-term volcanic threats.

We banter about becoming an award-winning podcast, talk about the current volcanic around the world, and warn people not to believe all the volcanic images that they see on social media. Then we talk to Brian Terbush (Volcanic and Earthquake Project Coordinator for the Washington State Emergency Management Agency) about how to prepare for disaster, what might be in store for Washington, how to properly hide under your desk in an earthquake and what Rainier could do to Seattle and Tacoma.

We banter about pumice rafts and why they're so cool, why bad Op-Eds in newspapers about volcanoes are not cool, the dangers of pyroclastic flows moving over water and the recent global eruption activity. We then dive into answering listener questions, including how volcanoes get names, whether there is a set pattern to volcanic activity over a volcano's life, what is the most hazardous volcano in the U.S., why anorthosite are weird and why never nuke a volcano (or hurricane).

Guest: Mika McKinnon

An episode in which we discuss Erik's field work in Oregon, the dangers of tourism on active volcanoes, why lava lakes are so fascinating, what can (and can't) be triggered by big earthquakes and what the connections might be between earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. We also chat with Mika McKinnon about her path into geosciences, hazards posed by earthquakes and what you should do about them, what puppies might have to do with earthquake aftershocks and why you shouldn't lick molten lava.
