Research Provides Answer to Long-standing Question
Researchers like James Gardner from the University of Texas along with Helge Gonnermann and Sahand Hajimirza from the Rice University were able to answer a deep-rooted question about highly explosive volcanic eruptions just like the one that occurred at Mount St. Helens in 1980, another at Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, as well as the one at Mount Chaitén in Chile in 2008.
