Volcanic ash and gases can sometimes reach the stratosphere, which is the upper layer in earth's atmosphere. The probability of us being alive when yellowstone goes again are super low. If you want to worry, just worry about renier. Worry about all your friends in seattle and tacoma, ya.
In this first episode of Ologies, Alie Ward chats with volcanologist Jess Phoenix who also happens to be running for Congress. Learn how hot magma is, how volcanoes are formed, how screwed the Pacific Northwest is, what thrills Jess about volcanoes, and what to do if surrounded by horse bandits. Also: some valuable information about haunted lava tubes.
