Erik Klemetti on Eruptions solicits your suggestions for the titular honor:
2009 is almost over and it has been quite a busy year, volcanically speaking. This is not to say that is was anomalously volcanic - more that many of the volcanic events captured the media's attention. I'll be putting together a "Volcanic Year in Review" for 2009 and at the end I'll award the 2009 "Volcanic Event of the Year" (a Pliny?) ... but now its your turn to nominate events for the award.
Suitable entries include "eruptions, signs of an eruption, a big research article, a media debacle/success" or just about anything else volcano-related. Don't miss your chance to nominate!
