	Under the Volcano: Studying Earth's Deepest Riddles
		Godchaux is not one to pass up a visit to such hotspots as Mount St. Helens in Washington, which erupted in a massive surprise explosion in 1980, inspiring what she describes as wave of "born-again volcanologists." But the real focus of her work necessitates rigorous examinations of a much calmer landscape.
		Given the low pressure of the eruption, and the slow speed of the lava flow, which is typical of many Hawaiian volcanoes, the danger was negligible, she says.
		One of the most famous historic volcanoes, Mount Vesuvius in Italy, destroyed 16,000 lives–catching men, women, children and animals on the run—in 79 A.D. Today a population of roughly 5 million resides in the Bay of Naples, within range of a potential eruption comparable to the one that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum.

		Mudflows in drainages from the flanks of the volcano, and lava flows and avalanching of hot debris on the upper reaches of the volcano are also of concern in the uninhabited areas around the volcano.
		Satellite and seismic data and eyewitness observations suggest most of the surface lava activity is occurring on the southeast sector of the steep-sided volcano; this suggests that the Pacific Ocean side of the volcano is at most risk from avalanching hot debris.

		A National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS) is being formulated by the Consortium of U.S. Volcano Observatories (CUSVO) to establish a proactive, fully integrated, national-scale monitoring effort that ensures the most threatening volcanoes in the United States are properly monitored in advance of the onset of unrest and at levels commensurate with the threats posed.
		Volcanic threat is the combination of hazards (the destructive natural phenomena produced by a volcano) and exposure (people and property at risk from the hazards).
		About half of the most threatening U.S. volcanoes are monitored at a basic level and a few are well monitored with a suite of modern instruments.

		Under the Volcano: (Alex North) Neither this movie nor the respected novel by Malcolm Lowry on which it was based can be described in any way as an uplifting experience.
		Despite statements across the board that Under the Volcano is a classic score, there always exists a dissenting voice, and you're about to hear it here.
		The percussion section is easily the key to this score's success, and while North hits the nail on the head with his choice of instrumentation (as he usually does), his incorporation of such ideas doesn't differ significantly from the same disjointed percussive rhythms of something like the Africa television series.
