Autopsy of an eruption: Linking crystal growth to volcano seismicityBochum, Germany (SPX) May 31, 2012 How processes below a volcano are linked to seismic signals at the surface is described by scientists from the petrology group of the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum and their colleagues from Bristol in a paper published in Science. They analyzed the growth of crystals in the magma chamber and used results obtained from the monitoring of seismic signals. The research could ultimately help to predict future volcanic eruptions with greater accuracy. A few kilometers below the volcano a liquid reservoir exis ... read more |

After the Vietnam War and a succession of operational and procurement failures, "the Pentagon" became a term of derision and a public symbol of incompetence. Today, the opposite is true. The Pentagon is seen as representing the most highly regarded sector of American society - the military - though perhaps the perception has swung too far in that direction in lavishing praise especially when the department must contend with huge and painful budget cuts likely to damage its image. ... more | .. |
