Alaska's mt Spurr volcano, which last erupted in 1992, depositing ash on nearby Anchorage, AK, had a glacier outburst flood (or jökullhlaup if you like the Icelandic tongue twister) which lasted about 45 minutes after a period of weak, shallow quakes. This is pretty common in a lot of glacier-clad volcanoes, and especially in Iceland where geothermal activity routinely melts water under a glacier's surface, which results in a 'burst' of water escaping, causing sudden floods.
This does not [...]

I haven't been able to post much lately, mainly because I had an influx of much-needed freelance work this month. I'm also working on a huge batch of photos I took during my trip to the Western US. I'll be doing some posts about that as I get the time and the photos uploaded to Flickr. I've also been getting ready for something I'm really stoked about, my upcoming exhibition at Wonderlab, a children's museum here in Bloomington, IN. I'll also be doing a science-art night there on August 3, [...]
