We got a specshul science license, so we went back to Hawaii today for an emergency science class, under directshun ob Milo.  He said it’s not all the time bolcanos erupt, so you hab to go when they do, so much science to be learned.  Cosmo and Augie weren’t nerbous, but I was, that laba can do fast and it’s really hot and sticky.  Emergency crews continue to battle laba flow and hazardous sulfur dioxide fumes on the Island but they let us come and do some experiements to test the viscosity, flow rates and trying to understand how and where magma will next appear on Earth’s surface, to better tell people how to aboid this recurring natural hazard. Mapping these hidden pathways is an ongoing project at the Hawaiian Bolcano Obserbatory, where they offered us jobs as staff bolcanologists.  As nice of an offer as that was, we thought it might be good to go home and finish school and maybe do somefing not so dangerous.  

Fank you Barbara Magin for your dedicashun to science bizness!




I fink we better go…my butt is getting warm.
