Postcards from the Field

During the summer months, scientists from the Volcano Hazards Program lead educational field trips, conduct extensive field surveys, and install monitoring equipment at various volcanoes. These activities help scientists and educators understand volcanic processes. This compilation of "Postcards from the Field" was collected during the summer field seasons.
