Annie Worden and Kristen Rahilly, graduate students in Volcanology at the Geophysical Institute, provided a rich, educational experience for a group of girls aged 8 to 11.


On March 20, the girls visited the Volcano Monitoring Room, examined volcanic rock fragments, watched footage of an erupting Stromboli Volcano and learned about the Redoubt Volcano eruption of 1989 that served as the harbinger for improved volcano monitoring in Alaska.
