Virtual volcanology - exploring volcanoes in Google Earth



From time to time when I find something cool I'll let you know. Here is what I've found tonight... John Bailey is a volcanologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory and is recorded here giving a presentation on AVO's use of Google Earth as an output tool for observing data from the remote sensing networks.

I know at this point you're concerned about me and wondering if I'm taking my medication but come on, this stuff is cool. For those of us that can't afford a trip to Iceland for the volcanogy conference, here is the poor man's conference participation. John's presentation is about 55 minutes long but is well worth a watch.

Make sure you have a good broadband connection before watching this!
