Research

CO2 from Mammoth Mt., California - - Observations and interpretations of the carbon dioxide gas emissions at Mammoth Mountain Volcano, Long Valley, California.

The Electronic Volcano - - A pioneer site started by Professor Dick Stoiber at Dartmouth College providing information on active volcanoes. Not well updated since 1997, but older information is excellent.

ERUPT Research project - - European Research on understanding processes and timescales in magma systems.

Granular Volcano Group - - Site for understanding granular flows (pyroclastic flows), fluid dynamic, supercomputer modeling, grain features and behaviors in Volcanology, Physics and Geophysics.

Igneous Geochemistry - - Compositions of volcanic and other igneous rocks in a world wide data base.

Killer lake Nyos in Africa - - Carbon dioxide gas outbursts from lakes Nyos and Monoun in Cameroon, West Africa, killed hundreds of people. A controlled degassing operation is scheduled to begin in January, 2001, for reducing the risk of future carbon dioxide suffocation from these killer lakes.

Lake Nyos, Cameroon, West Africa - - Eruption of carbon dioxide from Lake Nyos killed hundreds. A controlled degassing experiment is planned to reduce this hazard.
