I'm a freelance geologist working mostly in the Eastern Alps. I graduated in 2007 with a project studying how permafrost, that´s frozen soil, is reacting to the more visible recent changes of the alpine environment.
By analyzing the dynamics of a string of explosions that happened during the 2018 Kīlauea volcano eruption, researchers described a new type of volcanic eruption mechanism. The explosions were driven by sudden pressure increases as the ground collapsed, which blasted plumes of rock fragments and hot gas into the air, much like a classic stomp-rocket toy.following a 5.0-magnitude earthquake, sending lava flows down the flanks of the volcano.
"A cool thing about these eruptions is that there were a bunch of them in sequence that were remarkably similar; that's relatively unusual," soTrump Lashes Out At Robert De Niro After Actor Calls Him A ‘Tyrant’ Outside Courthouse Kīlauea is one of the best monitored active volcanoes in the world. The mountain is covered with scientific instruments, from ground sensors that measure the shaking of the earth to tools that analyze the gases released from the ground. So the researchers had more data than usual to work with, and they could dig deeper into the specific dynamics of the eruptions.
