| #13.2 - Islands - Volcanoes |
 |
Second part of Islands' Concert à emporter. They
went quietly wild in the streets of Paris. They
had people dancing at their balconies, they
stopped cars, and Kate even climbed a taxi.
Volcanoes was like a night "épopée".

Deuxième chanson issue du Concert à emporter des
Islands. Il chantent Volcanoes en descendant la
rue de Ménilmontant, ils font danser les gens Ã
leur balcon, ils arrêtent les voitures, ils
grimpent sur des taxis, il jouent leur morceau
comme une épopée de nuit. Magique.

| Virtual Volcanology - Exploring volcanoes in Google Earth |
 |
Google Tech Talks
December, 18 2007
Volcanoes are some of the most dynamic and
visually spectacular natural features on the
Earth's surface. In Alaska, volcanoes are an
intrinsic part of the landscape and culture, with
over 70 volcanoes and volcanic fields that have
been active in historic time. Monitoring of these
volcanoes is undertaken by the Alaska Volcano
Observatory (AVO) using a suite of methods and
tools in the fields of remote sensing, seismology,
geodesy and geology that produce large volumes of
geospatial data. The evolution in the capabilities
of Google Earth and KML has provided a
user-friendly interface and information-rich
context in which these data can be displayed
simultaneously and dynamically, offering new
possibilities for communications with other
scientists, emergency managers and the general
public. I will present an overview of AVO's
operations, and demonstrate our, and the wider
volcanological community's use of Google Earth.

John E. Bailey, Alaska Volcano Observatory &
Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, University of
Alaska Fairbanks
John Bailey majored in Physics and Space Science
at the University of Kent at Canterbury, England.
After a year spent working and traveling around
the world he attended the University of Hawaii,
obtaining a MS and PhD in Geology and Geophysics,
focusing on physical and remote sensing
volcanology. He is currently a postdoc with the
Arctic Region Supercomputing Center involved in
operations and research at the Alaska Volcano
Observatory in Fairbanks, Alaska. His current
interests include the development of KML as a
visualization tool for volcano and other
scientific datasets.

| Eruption! Viewing lava at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park |
 |
Written directed and produced by Donald B.
MacGowan; Narrated by Frank Burgess; Original
Musical Score by Donald B. MacGowan
Can you believe this? It's absolutely outstanding
and amazing! You can actually walk right up to
flowing lava here; see a volcano erupt before your
eyes and the molten rock pour into the sea. This
has to be one of the four or five most exciting,
amazing, wonderful, mystical experiences on
earth...you must not miss this!
Mauna Loa is active but not currently erupting.
The summit area is slowly inflating, filling with
magma and the flanks are subject to frequent minor
earthquakes, but no obvious activity is apparent
to the visitor. Kilauea, the most active volcano
on Earth, started its current eruptive phase in
1983, the longest eruption in history. Since then
it has ejected almost 3 billion cubic meters of
lava. Flowing from various vents in the rift, most
notably Pu'u O'o, in streams and tubes at over
1000 degrees Celsius, much of the lava makes its
way into the sea in fiery, steamy explosions or
the incredible incongruity of glowing hot lava
pouring directly into the sea with little more
apparent than a mere bubbling of the water.
Although surface flows and breakouts are frequent
and common, there is no guarantee that over any
given trip to the Big Island they will be visible
or easily accessible to the casual visitor. Since
the flow of lava over the moonscape plains and
into the roiling sea can be seen nowhere else on
earth, it is certainly the most exciting, unique
and moving highlight of any trip to Hawai'i.
People stand at the edge of the flow and weep at
the majesty and mystery of the earth remaking
itself; it is wondrous, remarkable and
unforgettable. Before planning a hike to see the
lava, check with the Rangers at Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park for information on the hike length
and location of surface flows and a review of
safety information.
The lava seems to glow with only a dull petulance
during the day and may be less than inspiring
until nightfall brings it alive and the madly
glowing, fiery goddess within is revealed. Thus
knowledgeable hikers plan their hike to commence
in the afternoon, reaching their destination at
dusk, and to hike back in the dark. The lava
streams and tubes migrate back and forth from time
to time over a pali and plain of about 8 miles
breadth. Sometimes the hike is a few hundred
meters, sometimes a few miles, but it is always
over an uneven, rough surface, hot during the day
even when it rains, cold at night and navigation
can sometimes be counterintuitive. The trail at
first is marked with cairns and reflectors, but
after the viewpoint overlook at a few hundred
meters, you are on your own to navigate the basalt
wilderness. Take at least 3 quarts of water for
each person and two working (check before you
leave!) flashlights per person. It is further
recommended that you carry sunscreen, snacks, a
first aid kit (that rock is SHARP, cuts are
common) and wear sturdy hiking boots and long
pants. Remember that you are hiking on a highly
active volcano, if flowing streams of lava strand
you, no rescue is practical or possible; plan,
take care and pay strict attention accordingly.

| Volcanoes - Lesson 5 - Part 2 of 7 |
 |
Series made in 1976 - Understanding the Earth
First part of the hour long show was the segment
called Planet of Man series hosted by world
renowned Canadian Geophysicist
Tuzo Wilson.
The series host was Dr. David Pearson English
trained, Canadian geologist residing in Sudbury,
Ontario.
Dr. David Pearson lectured at Laurentian
University in Sudbury, Ontario.
This Canadian Series was made in 1976 -
Understanding the Earth by TV Ontario. This
series was part of a extension course at
Laurentian, i believe from 1976 to 1986.
The entire series was 22 episodes. This series
illustrated manual demonstrations in geological
process.

Planet of Man Series -- Fire Within Lesson 5 --
Part 2 of 7
•Continued - Mt Vesuvius movie footage from a
movie of last century 'Kiberia??? accounting the
story of the eruption as told by Pliny The Younger
•Cone shaped volcanoes (Vesuvius) are made from
converging plates and are characterized by lavas
of granitic composition
•Violent eruptive in nature, found in mountain
belts and island arc areas and the notorious "Ring
of Fire" that surrounds the Pacific
•2nd type of volcano -- basaltic composition are
made from plates pulling apart.
•1973 footage of Iceland eruption In 6 days 1/5
the time was lost to the eruption.
•Fissure type eruption; Less volatile but some
volatility is experienced, lava may spread out
over hundreds of square miles of basaltic rock.
•Lava leaving fissures underwater
•Fresh pillow lava forming underwater
•Pillow lavas found on every continent
•Columnar basalt
•Past evidence of old volcanoes
•Ancient pillow lava in NWT
