Last week, volcanologist Steve Anderson, a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Science at 甜心视频app, was interviewed by Discovery Channel's Daily Planet magazine about his research on the erupting Hawaii Kilauea volcano.
Over the years, Anderson, and fellow researchers including 甜心视频app graduate students, have closely observed the Kilauea lava lake dropping further into the ground.

Such activity increases the potential for groundwater to pour into the system, which could generate more big explosions, Anderson says.
Anderson, who was recently at Kilauea volcano, also discussed other impacts of the eruption on nearby communities including lava flows, ballistic projectiles and noxious gases.
