Monday Musings: Etna's ash, mapping Kilauea deformation, Auckland's new volcano and more

I'm as surprised as you are, but it is already Monday. Busy week for me - students getting ready to register for Fall Semester courses and a talk to give at the end of the week ... but at least we get to watch "In the Path of a Killer Volcano" (about the 1991 eruption of Pinatubo) in my freshman volcanoes class. That documentary is probably my favorite all-time, definitely worth checking out if you want to see front line volcanologists at work.
