I am a geologist who studies landscapes their forms and the processes that shape them. I grew up in Neosho, MO, and attended Colorado College, earning a bachelor’s in Geology. I also attended Colorado School of Mines for a master’s in Environmental Science and Engineering. Finally, I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Ph.D. in Geology. My husband and I have two children, both will be freshman in the fall 2021. My son will be attending Colorado College, and my daughter will be a freshman at Little Rock Central High School. My hobbies are mostly outdoor related. I love to hike, camp, ride my bike, and travel.

In January 2020, the Taal volcano in the Philippines erupted for the first time since 1977, spewing steam, tephra, and lava for 10 days. Millions of nearby inhabitants were put at risk from falling ash and poor air quality. Like many of our volcanologist colleagues, we were interviewed by media outlets to provide expertise to the public in the wake of the eruption. The same questions kept popping up: What will happen next? Will the volcano explode? We could provide only one
Mon Oct 29 2007 at 18:36:26 A rock glacier (AKA a block stream) is an ill-defined beast. It is, in essence, a pile of rocks that looks or acts like a glacier: .a tongue-like or lobate body, usually of angular boulders, that resembles a small glacier, generally occurs in high mountainous terrain and usually has ridges, furrows, and sometimes lobes on its surface, and has a steep front at the angle of repose.

1972 Ice-cored rock glacier, Galena Creek, northern Absaroka Mountains, Wyoming. Geological Society of America Bulletin, 83, 3025-3057. Rock glaciers commonly occur along the bases of cliffs or on the floors of cirques. They look like giant lobate lava flows made of chunks of rock, often containing boulders measuring meters in diameter. The steep sides and front of these mounds may be up to 60 meters high (~180 feet). The study of rock glaciers is only about 100 years old, the first papers published on the phenomenon appearing in the 1900-1910s. But
