Recently Erupting Volcanoes
Given the number of Sciencebase visitors looking for information on recent volcanic eruptions and currently erupting volcanoes, we have set up a page syndicating the latest announcements and alerts previously from Volcano World hosted on the University of North Dakota website. Volcano World is a collaborative higher education, K-12, and public outreach project of the North Dakota and Oregon Space Grant Consortia administered by the Department of Geosciences at Oregon State University and now including the Yahoo volcano news feed. We've also now added the US Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake news feed to this page for the sake of completeness. If any readers have volcano or earthquake photos they would like us to showcase in exchange for a backlink to their gallery, please let us know.
