 Over the last 6 week, we have recorded a series of podcasts that cover a lot of the basics of volcanology. We've compiled all the episodes here with a brief description. We hope you enjoy them and feel free to use them in your classes or activities.
Back to Basics: Volcanology basics - Episode #1 (Season 1-6): We banter about the nature of magma, the shapes of volcanoes, the ways volcanoes erupt and how volcanologists describe volcanoes. Watching the Volcanoes: Signs of an impending eruption - Episode #2 (Season 1-7): We banter about the volcanoes of Europe, the signs we observe when volcanoes start to become restless including earthquakes, gas emissions, deformation and more. We also chat about the technology used to see these changes. Bottle Up and Explode: Large volcanic eruptions - Episode #3 (Season 1-8): We banter about volcanoes in South America. Then we dive into what happens during giant explosive eruptions, including the what causes these blasts, the dynamics of ash plumes, how calderas form and massive ash deposits called ignimbrites. The Cascades: Monitoring an active volcanic range - Episode #4 (Season 1-9): In this special episode, we banter with Dr. Seth Moran, the scientist-in-charge of the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory. We talk about the relatively danger of different Cascade volcanoes, the challenges of keeping an eye on all the volcanoes and what we might expect next from the Cascades. Heavy Weather: How volcanoes impact climate - Episode #5 (Season 1-10): We banter about why volcanoes can have a global impact on the planet's climate. We also get into the details of volcanic aerosols like sulfur dioxide, what they do in our atmosphere and why volcanoes aren't the source of our current climate change. Space is the Place: Extraterrestrial volcanism - Episode #6 (Season 1-11): In our final Mini-series episode, we chat with Dr. Jacob Richardson (NASA Goddard Space Center) about what eruptions are like on other planets and moons. We also banter about ice volcanoes, the giant size of eruptions on Io and what the future holds for exploring volcanoes off our planet.

In this episode, Janine and I banter about volcanoes not on this planet. We talk to Dr. Jacob Richardson (NASA Goddard) about all things extraterrestrial when it comes to volcanoes, including Martian volcanism, just how big eruptions can get on other planets and moons, volcanoes of ice and the future for exploration of volcanics not on Earth. This is Part 6 of a special mini-series on Volcanology Basics for anyone to use during the Great Hiatus.

We'll talk about what comes out of volcanoes during big volcanic eruption, the role of aerosols like sulfur dioxide have on the atmosphere. Then we tackle the impact of some large volcanic eruptions on global temperatures. We wrap up with why volcanoes are not the cause of current climate change. This is Part 5 of a special mini-series on Volcanology Basics for anyone to use during the Great Hiatus.

Instead, we interview Dr. Seth Moran, the Scientist in Charge of the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, WA. Hear about the hazards in the Cascades, how the USGS watches the volcano and how Dr. Moran ended up as the leader of CVO. This is Part 4 of a special mini-series on Volcanology Basics for anyone to use during the Great Hiatus.

Then we get into Plinian eruptions, how calderas are formed, what happens during a massive eruption and ignimbrites (one of Erik's favorite volcanologic words). This is Part 3 of a special mini-series on Volcanology Basics for anyone to use during the Great Hiatus.

Guest: Dr. Paul Ashwell, Assistant Professor at University of Toronto - Mississauga In this episode, we banter about earthquakes along the Adriatic Sea, the potentially-rising unrest at New Zealand's White Island, and the 2nd anniversary of the Agung eruption. Then we talk pyroclastic flows and lava domes with Dr. Paul Ashwell. We discuss his research in New Zealand, Chile and beyond. We speculate about how nasty and deadly pyroclastic flows can be, how to avoid being killed by one and how to deal with long-term volcanic threats.

Your hosts: Erik Klemetti and Janine Krippner Guest: Brian Terbush - Earthquake/volcano program coordinator at the Washington State Emergency Management Division The volcanology community is not just scientists. We work with communities to help people prepare for eruptions and volcanic events and emergency management is an important part of this. Brian joins us to talk about this side of the volcano world and chats with us about what he does. What do emergency managers do to prepare their communities? What is Brian's worst volcano nightmare?

Your hosts: Erik Klemetti and Janine Krippner We banter about pumice rafts and why they're so cool, why bad Op-Eds in newspapers about volcanoes are not cool, the dangers of pyroclastic flows moving over water and the recent global eruption activity. We then dive into answering listener questions, including how volcanoes get names, whether there is a set pattern to volcanic activity over a volcano's life, what is the most hazardous volcano in the U.S., why anorthosite are weird and why never nuke a volcano (or hurricane).
