Tuesday Tidbits: Amazing Etna video, mystery in Niger and more!

The start of the semester always surprises me. No matter how much I think I might be prepared for it, the first day of class ends up being a maelstrom. This year was no different, especially when I intelligently decided to combine the first day of class with the launch of the new Denison University Geosciences Blog - the official blog of the Geosciences Department here. It is mostly curated by me so far, but we'll be adding new posts as the semester progresses written by students, faculty and majors abroad. And if you're of that ilk, we even have a Twitter feed (@denisongeos) for the blog.
