Geological evidence shows that, since the year 1200, new eruptions have occurred mostly from vents/fissures along rift zones. Prior to that, lava erupted mostly from the summit before sometimes overflowing the summit crater.

#MaunaLoa is erupting from vents on the Northeast Rift zone. Flows are moving downslope to the north. USGS Photos from Civil Air Patrol fight. #MaunaLoaErupts @Volcanoes_NPS @Hawaii_EMA @CivilDefenseHI

Interested in helping the IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism? We are seeking officer nomination! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… Here is a pic of a cone from the Springerville VF, AZ from the Distributed Volcanism Chapman Conference in September 2022.

A recent plastic-tephra-garbage deposit near the north beach at Anak Krakatau. Pieces of plastic are molten as the hot ash was deposited. Probably need to invent a new rock name for this - any suggestions folks?

My senior seminar class is committed to creating interactive discussions!
To discuss a paper on insect agriculture a student brought crocheted mushrooms to get colleagues to interact with new topic.

Sometime science requires you to practice using grabby arms. Ugrad researcher @UGresearchUMKC Mya Thomas is working on a plan to put and measure ground control points for 3d visualizations in/on difficult to reach targets.

What I find amazing about this is that these oceanic volcanoes have been building up huge mountains under the water for an incredibly long time, and we get to witness the moment they reach the surface. This can also happen multiple times as the ocean erodes away a young island.
Volcanoes are the demonstration that #Earth is a #LivingPlanet #Copernicus #Sentinel2 🇪🇺🛰️ captured, between July and October 2022, the formation of a new island in the Pacific Ocean caused by the 🌋eruption of the Home Reef volcano

My fashion leads to frequent comparisons to Ms. Frizzle so I embraced the comparison for Halloween with some help from @Ivanaa_26 and @BrookieBeanZ

Excited to have more showy geo stuff in our hallways.
The 4th floor of Flarsheim got a facelift with materials a signage from EES faculty and emeriti research and past exhibitions.
