    S3 Special. Being a Scientist at the Hawai'i Volcano Observatory
    2026/01/26
    Ever wondered what life is like for a scientist who works a volcano observatory during an ongoing eruption?! Well now you don't have to! In this special VolcaKnowledge episode we're joined by two of the science team from the United States Geological Survey Hawai'i Volcano Observatory (USGS HVO) to discuss the current* activity at Kīlauea volcano.HVO Research Geologists Dr. Kendra J. Lynn and Dr Heather Winslow take us through life working at a volcano observatory and what they are learning about this incredible volcanic system through a huge variety of data and observations.We discuss the volcanic activity from December 2024 - January 2026, managing the logistics of HVO during a time of ongoing volcanic activity at the surface, and highlight the incredible range of job roles and dedication needed to make an observatory run effectively!*NOTE: All topics, data, and current state of alerts and access to witness activity at Kīlauea discussed within this episode may only be relevant until the date of January 16, 2026 (Eruption Episode 40). Any changes to eruptive activity and alerts since then may not be reflected by specifics within this episode.Learn a little more about our guest observatory scientists:Dr. Kendra J. Lynn (she/her) - U.S. Geological Survey Research Geologist – Petrologist As a Research Geologist at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, I leverage petrology and geochemistry to investigate the timescales of geologic processes operating in Earth’s mantle and volcanic systems – from the generation of magma during melting to its eruption. Understanding the timing and duration of magma storage and transport is critical for constraining the dynamic evolution of our planet and volcanic eruption scenarios. My ongoing work investigates these themes for Mauna Loa, post-2018 Kīlauea eruptions, and Kīlauea’s explosive eruptive past.Dr. Heather Winslow (she/her) - Mendenhall Research Fellow - Research GeologistAs an igneous petrologist, I specialize in using crystal records from erupted volcanic products to determine pre-eruptive magma storage constraints and timescales of magmatic processes. My research has spanned from field areas in the Cascades, the Chilean Andes, and now to Hawaii. My research at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is focused on Mauna Loa and constraining its storage conditions and magma transfer pathways between its summit and rift zones. I am also involved in eruption response and research at Kīlauea.

  • S3 Ep10. Needles and Navigation with Lauren Heerschap

    S3 Ep10. Needles and Navigation with Lauren Heerschap
    2025/09/22

    For our latest episode, we dig (literally) into the world of geological field tools with geologist Lauren Heerschap, CEO of Brunton - one of our sponsors. Join us as we discuss Lauren's journey from geologist to designing tools to running a company!

    Lauren Heerschap (she/her) is a geologist and educator whose invention of the revolutionary Axis transit led to her to working alongside Brunton for its launch. One thing led to another and in 2021, her and her husband, David, were able to purchase Brunton, helping ensure the brand's longevity as the main US manufacturer of quality compasses used around the world by geologists, outdoor recreationists, and military professionals.

  • S3 Ep9. Industry and Igneous Materials with Wainwright Aggregates

    S3 Ep9. Industry and Igneous Materials with Wainwright Aggregates
    2025/09/15

    Volcanic rocks can prove very versatile as building and construction materials , and in one site in south west England, a 400 million year old band of volcanic lava is being used for exactly that!

    In this episode, we speak to Ben Dormer, Operations Director and prior Quarry Manager, for John Wainwright & Co., an aggregates and asphalt quarrying operation in Somerset, England. At Moons Hill Quarry, Wainwright Aggregates have been quarrying a large body of andesite for over 130 years, providing a strong and robust material for construction and aggregate asphalt across the UK.

    Ever wondered what process goes into the quarrying industry? How rocks are chosen, how they are extracted, and how they become final materials for clients? We delve into this industry and the many roles needed for it to operate smoothly, with our podcast sponsor.
