The science behind supervolcanoes / by Spilsbury, Louise,author.(CARDINAL)333019;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Eruptions of Earth -- How volcanoes work -- Where do volcanoes happen? -- Scientists on the case -- Supervolcanoes of the future -- Be prepared."Earth--it's a disaster zone! For thousands of years, Earth has been exploding with super volcanoes whose magma flows and gas clouds destroy everything in their paths. But what causes these awesome forces of nature and where in the world are they most likely to occur? Discover the science behind super volcanoes, the world's worst-ever volcano disasters, and the technology that scientists are using to help prevent devastating volcanoes of the future."--Grades 2-3Ages 6-9

[episode 1] Volcano on fire / produced and directed by Simon Winchcombe -- [episode 2] Volanco on the brink / produced and directed by Ben Wilson.Edited by Lee Sutton ; camera, William Edwards, Ryan Atkinson ; narrator, Parker Sawyers.Chris Jackson, Xand van Tulleken, Aldo Kane."The Virunga Mountains in East Africa are home to two of the world's most dangerous, spectacular, and least understood volcanoes. In this two-part NOVA special, an intrepid team of volcano experts leads a daring expedition to reach their high-altitude craters, one of them filled with a fiery lava lake that bubbles and churns at over 1,000° F. The team deploys innovative imaging and sampling tools to seek clues to the hidden volcanic forces that are splitting East Africa apart, and to predict the next devastating eruption that could threaten millions who live in the shadow of these monsters"--Container.DVD, region 1, NTSC, wide screen; stereo.

Volcanotectonics : understanding the structure, deformation, and dynamics of volcanoes / by Gudmundsson, Agust,author.(CARDINAL)865673;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Volcanotectonic structures -- Volcanotectonic deformation -- Volcanotectonic earthquakes -- Volcanotectonic processes -- Formation and dynamics of magma chambers and reservoirs -- Magma movement through the crust : dike paths -- Dynamics of volcanic eruptions -- Formation and evolution of volcanoes -- Understanding unrest and forecasting eruptions -- Appendices."Volcanotectonics is comparatively new scientific field that combines various methods and techniques of geology and physics so as to understand the structure and behaviour of polygenetic (central) volcanoes and the conditions for their eruptions. More specifically, volcanotectonics uses the techniques and methods of tectonics, structural geology, geophysics, and physics to collect data on volcanoes, as well as to analyse and interpret the physical processes that generate those data. The focus is on processes responsible for periods of volcanic unrest, caldera collapses, and eruptions"--

Mt. St. Helens [videorecording] back from the dead / by Adair, Mark.; Crisafulli, Charles M.; Davidson, Nick.ausprodrt; Lewman, Lance.; Österreichischer Rundfunk.; Interspot (Firm); PBS Distribution (Firm)(CARDINAL)309769; WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.)(CARDINAL)154259;
Editor, Martin Sage ; photography, Mark Molesworth, Josef Neuper ; music, Mark Adair.Featuring Charlie Crisafulli ; narrator: Lance Lewman."When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, every living thing in the blast zone was buried. However, life began to bloom again, and biologist Charlie Crisafulli has been documenting the return of plant and animal life. Also the mountain, like the wildlife, is coming back to life. Nova presents a pioneering look at the interplay between biology and geology that may help scientists predict future volcanic eruptions"--Publisher.Not rated.DVD; region 1, NTSC, widescreen, stereo.
