Volcanologist Jenni Barclay joins WIRED to answer the internet's lava-hot questions about volcanoes. How do volcanoes cause lightning? What would happen if you fell into a volcano? What do volcanologists study day-to-day? Are there any super volcanoes in the world overdue for an eruption? Why does Iceland have so many active volcanoes? These questions and many more are answered on Volcano Support.Jenni Barclay is a professor at The University of Bristol https://www.bristol.ac.uk/people/person/Jenni-Barclay-251603f7-bef1-4ebe-9adf-6b4906f3fc55/Director: Anna O'DonohueDirector of Photography: James FoxEditor: Philip AndersonExpert: Jenni BarclayProducer: Efrat KashaiLine Producer: Joseph BuscemiAssociate Producer: Paul GulyasProduction Manager: Peter BrunetteProduction Coordinator: Rhyan LarkCasting Producer: Nicholas SawyerCamera Operator: Neill FrancisSound Mixer: Mark CheffinsProduction Assistant: Jack HaynesPost Production Supervisor: Christian OlguinPost Production Coordinator: Ian BryantSupervising Editor: Doug LarsenAdditional Editor: Ron Douglas; Jason MaliziaAssistant Editor: Andy Morell

Now that astronomers are finding rocky worlds orbiting distant stars, they're asking the next logical questions: Do any of those worlds have volcanoes? And if so, could we detect them? Work by theorists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that the answer to the latter is a qualified "Yes."

Despite broad understanding of volcanoes, our ability to predict the timing, duration, type, size, and consequences of volcanic eruptions is limited, says a new report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

The thinning of Iceland’s ice caps could be influencing volcanic activity, according to new research. The study developed a model to predict the changes in pressure on magma caused by thinning ice and applied it to the recent activity of two Icelandic volcanoes. The results suggest that the effects of thinning ice may increase volcanic activity in some cases, but reduce it in others.

Researchers have used a new comprehensive life cycle approach to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road construction. When applied to four projects in Spain, the results suggest improvements could be made in the use and efficiency of off-road machinery, the choice of materials and restoration of ecosystems.
