"Look, but don’t touch! Using close-range remote-sensing to study lava"
The physical properties of magma control if, when, and how volcanoes erupt, and how and where lava will flow. Volcanologist Einat Lev will share with us her journey to study lavas and magmas around the world using infrared cameras, unmanned aerial vehicles, and some high fructose corn syrup. Main stops along the trail will include Iceland, Chile and Hawai’i, with glimpses of Africa, Vanuatu, and Antarctica.
Members and students with ID, free; non-members $10. The Museum is open at 6:20 pm. Reservations required.
