What If Scientists Could Better Predict When A Volcano Might Erupt?

What if scientists could better predict when a volcano might erupt?

Work being done by researchers at ASU could lead to that — they’re tracking the heating history of magma, the molten rock inside the earth. What they’ve found was published in the journal Science earlier this month.

Christy Till is a co-author on that paper. She’s a professor in ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration and studies magma.
