helens, or vesuvius, where you have a really sticky lover that creates a big explosion. this volcano is oozing and running and flowing and that means that scientists can up close and personal and really understand what s going on with a volcano. that s what s so exciting, i m sure, for a volcanologist like yourself, you don t want it to, obviously, impact communities or cause any harm. but there s something very magnificent i m sure about the study of seeing an active after 40 decades, 40 years excuse me, what kind of things could you learn about this and seeing the eruption. how distinct is it from say it s dormant period to have a better understanding of what makes the volcanoes tick and a way to prevent or predict? yeah, right now, volcanology is a science that is rapidly making improvements. ever since mount st. helens erupted in 1980, it s revolutionized the study of volcanoes.
