Join a fascinating lecture where volcanologist Diana Roman from Carnegie Institution for Science's Earth and Planets Laboratory explores evidence of a massive underwater caldera in Alaska's Aleutian volcanic arc. Delve into the mechanics of magma movement through Earth's crust, volcanic conduit systems, and the process of predicting volcanic eruptions. Learn about caldera-forming eruptions - Earth's most explosive volcanic events - and their global impact on climate and society. Examine how recent discoveries in Alaska contribute to understanding modern volcanic activity both regionally and worldwide. Gain insights into cutting-edge volcanology research and the implications of finding a hidden supervolcano in one of Earth's most geologically active regions.
