Eruptions

100th post

I’ve hit the 100th post mark on Eruptions, which isn’t too bad for a few months on the blog.

If anyone has any suggestions of what they would like to see more of, less of, or any other changes/suggestions, drop me an email or leave a comment. I’m still fleshing out exactly what this could be, so any input would be appreciated.

Otherwise, enjoy the volcanoes!

    Calderas, Calderas, Calderas. Any volcano that may impact world climate.

    Looking back into history, scientists are finding more and more that volcanoes effect climates and disrupt growing seasons around the world.

    I want to know what is happening with Rabaul and other simmering Calderas. I’d like to know about earthquakes that may serve to destabilize or reawaken volcanic systems. So when strings of earthquakes happen in a particular area of the world … I’d like to know if there will be a possible volcanic result.

    I’ve got a lot to learn … but I guess we all do as we have not yet learned much about Caldera volcanoes.

    Rafael Peralta had some interesting thoughts. I’d like to know some of the speculations about what drives volcanic activity.

    Also, I can’t afford to subscribe to professional publications. If you can sometimes give a short summary of anything in these publications that pertain to predicting and understanding caldera eruptions. I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Now, there are also other areas in Chile that are also having a bunch of earthquakes now.

    For example near the Bolivia, Chile and Argentine border there has been a lot of activity as of late. A few more earthquakes in the four range have occurred in the past few days.
    http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Maps/region/S_America.php

    This article linked to in this professional journal below has information on an inflation at the Lazufre volcanic region.
    http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VCS-4S4TNWR-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=50187f6c9516f1096a0e0ac7243bc13e

    They write in the abstract to the article,
    “The deformation signal shows an uplift of up to ~ 3 cm yr− 1 during 2003–2006, affecting an area of about 1100 km2, comparable in size to super-volcanoes such as Yellowstone or Long Valley. This deformation signal can be explained by an inflating magma body at about 10 km depth, expanding and propagating laterally at a velocity of up to 4 km per year. Although it is not clear whether this intrusion will lead to an eruption, its dimensions and the rapid deformation rate insinuate that a potentially large volcanic system is forming.”

    If as Rafael Peralta suggested there is some geological process taking place in Chile that is larger than just a localized event in the Chaiten region – there may be more large volcanic eruptions to follow.

    Note a few months ago I was looking at dates of eruptions in the Smithsonian chart of large volcanic eruptions. There was some possible clustering of large caldera eruptions in Kamchatka. A lot seemed to have there happened around 42,000-40,000 years ago.

    Your website is great Erik!

    These are the things that interest me. Several people at work often watch shows like “Naked Science” and see specials that deal with super-volcanoes. I didn’t know about them until a couple of years ago.

    I am not too concerned about Long Valley, Yellowstone or Toba erupting in my lifetime. However, there are so many caldera volcanoes somewhere between Chaiten size and Yellowstone size. I think we are due for a midsize eruption. Krakatua or Tambora in the 1800′s. An even earlier eruption of Krakatau is thought to have blown open the strait between Sumatra and Java by making a Caldera between them. Apparently there are some legends that they were once connected.

    So because I now know that volcanoes around the world can impact me and many others – I am much more interested in them.

    I don’t mind coverage of smaller volcanoes … but I only pay a lot of attention to the ones that have the potential to change the weather of the world.

    Keep up the good work – no matter what direction you take you take your fine blog in.

    Love your blog, please don’t go on holidays alot and can we have more information on the welfare of the native animals eg the loro barranquero near volcan de Llaima. Is it extinct? Have also read that there are wild canary flocks( escaped pets) on a Hawaiian Island. Did they die? And what about the penguins near Alaskas volcanoes?

    Hi, I like your blog. My daughter is starting her first dance lesson and I was wondering if you know of a good place to buy some cheap dance clothes? We’re on a budget so every dollar saved really helps. I just though you might know, sorry if it’s a little off topic. Have a great Christmas!

    Your promoting and marketing effectiveness online often has much more to complete with your own personal efforts than it does together with your skills. The misconception that a great deal have about marketing strategies on the net is that it’s much more intricate than it genuinely is. The fact is that the success of most over the internet entrepreneurs is predicated upon their grade of devotion and center and never their talent set. The key to being successful when working online is studying to manage and motivate your self ever since most times you won’t turn out to be working with others. As a matter of fact the most important obstacles a good number face are their own habits and shortcomings that make for sabotaging their efforts.

    One of the most well known contemporary economists, a Nobel Prize winner Mr. Milton Friedman stated that there is no such thing like zero cost launch. And there is the one other assertion that says “You get what you have to pay for”. I more often than not agree with these two statements. These have been proven on a great deal examples, particularly on the Internet.

    How, for god’s sake can certainly a person produce at no cost energy? It is against the very fundamental legislation of thermodynamics that is “energy cannot be created or destroyed, only improved in form.” So, the promoter of above talked about DIY energy product is claiming something looked at as impossible within recognized bodily boundaries.

    Wiz Khalifa needs to do a collaborative album with Currensy for the sake of hip hop. They have potential to be like Redman and Method Man except more mainstream and more appealing.

    I am always sating hotels and the difference in quality and customer service still amazes me. I have done a lot of travelling through business and pleasure and the difference to me between a nice stay and a great stay is welcoming staff. There is nothing worse than checking into a hotel to find that the staff can’t even really be bothered to servce you and show you too your room. I have also stayed at hotels where items of my personal belongings have gone missing after the maids have gone through the place.

    Article submission is an extremely powerful process and too be honest I am not sure wether i agree with doing it automatically. My current SEO stratergys for article marketing are fairly simple. I outsouce an article to be written by a professional english writer, the article must contain at least 1,200 words and be of extremely high quality. Next i will submit it to the top 20 article websites based on Page Rank and traffic. After submitting the articles i will then do some basic backlinking and bookmarking to make sure they get indexed by the search engine spiders. I find that doing article marketing this way works extremely effective however i suppose that having the software submit less quality articles to the less dominant websites and then submit to the ones manually that you can’t use a tool for with your quality article because at the end of the day quality backlinks never hurt anyone.
