So you want to be a… Volcanologist

Max and Calvin dive into the explosive world of volcanologists—the scientists who study lava, eruptions, and the powerful forces shaping our planet. Discover how a single volcano can unleash the energy of billions of sticks of dynamite, why Yellowstone is one of the most closely watched supervolcanoes on Earth, and how volcanic lightning storms form inside giant ash clouds. From collecting fresh lava rocks to tracking tiny earthquakes that warn of eruptions, this episode reveals the thrilling (and fiery!) science behind volcanoes and the people who study them.
