Tis the season to be thankful, and we are, for our friend Mel and her

return to Tampa. So to celebrate we wanted to re-release her podcast. The

volcanologist who studies the earthquakes generated by volcanoes, in order

to predict potential eruptions better. Mel's work requires her to spend a

lot of time in close proximity to volatile, active volcanoes – even

sacrificing her favorite sweater to collect a sample of rock from a lava

flow. Can't handle the heat? Get out of the volcano... and listen to Mel's

story in this podcast.
