One research stream in the area is how does life reinhabit such a 'sterilized' blast zone. In the foreground soil is developing as a plant cover establishes itself in what was a totally barren landscape. One can see the lava dome that has built up in the depression left by the explosive 1980 eruption, along with the flanking glaciers.

The red arrow shows the northwardĭirection of the lateral blast, while the Tuttle River valley Lecture outline for environmental geology course He recently took it with him to the Philippines to share with his relatives there.Volcanic hazards: case histories, prediction I thought it was very well done and my son just loves it. Lots of original film on the scene at the time. They share what it was like to have to make decisions affecting the lives of so many people and what they went through in trying to determine what the volcano was doing and when would it erupt. I really liked this because the story is told from the viewpoint of the US Geological Survey team and the military leaders on the American bases near to the volcano at the time and the Local people who were greatly affected by the eruption. This was especially interesting for us since my wife is from the Philippines and I have been through the area affected by the volcano. This documentary is about the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, one of the greatest eruptions in the last 80 or 90 years. I bought this DVD because my 6 year old son has a fascination with volcanos and earthquakes and in the process I've gotten hooked on them also.
