In the united states, we have the second highest number of volcanoes on the planet of any country. If you don't have a volcano in your back yard, you might not be very concerned about volcanic eruptions. Nali: We can only do as much science as we have money for. And so that's what a lot of disaster preparedness works.
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.
