Dance on a Volcano: A Quarter Century of Experimental First Ascents - Dr. Donald B. Dingwell

Volcanic activity has been a continuous companion to mankind. A century ago, experimental Earth science began to redefine our understanding of the Earth's interior. Although physical volcanology had been exclusively observational, new experimental science is making vast advances in the science of eruptive processes. Dr. Dingwell will guide us through some of the highlights of the last quarter century of experimental volcanology.
