Professor Kari Cooper’s Volcanology Research Featured in National Academy of Sciences' PNAS
In the latest issue of the National Academy of Sciences' PNAS journal, Professor Kari Cooper's research on "crystal clocks" reveals exciting advancements in predicting volcanic eruptions. By studying tiny mineral crystals embedded in volcanic mountains, scientists can uncover the past behavior of magma beneath volcanoes, with the longest storage timeline extending up to 20,000 years. This groundbreaking research has the potential to significantly enhance our approach to volcanic hazards and safety.
