Eruptions turns 1!

This little blog on volcanic activity has turned one year old today!

Happy Birthday, Eruptions!

Well, this definitely snuck up on me, but today marks the one-year anniversary for Eruptions! On May 1, 2008, I started this little blog and if anyone told me that a year later I’d be paid for the gig and getting 50,000 views a month, I would have called them nuts.

So, thank you to all the Eruptions readers and commenters – there are too many to list here, but we’ve had a blast discussing the eruptions at Chaiten, Redoubt, Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai, Huila, Kasatochi and many many more. It is these discussions that make me realize that this blog is useful, especially in helping dispel media myths and foster dialogue between scientists and the public. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading Eruptions as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

Feel free to leave suggestions of how you might improve the blog, but here’s to another volcanitastic year!

The better way to measure cosmic time

For some reason, when we talk about the age of stars, galaxies, and the Universe, we use "years" to measure time. Can we do better?

Why a James Webb Space Telescope mystery doesn’t (necessarily) break cosmology

The JWST's observations of well-developed galaxies early in universal history may coincide with accepted astronomical theory after all.

“Cultures of growth”: How small changes can build stronger, more successful teams

Psychologist Mary C. Murphy explains why growth-mindset teams outperform those centered around a lone genius.

The Universe might never run out of hydrogen

The most common element in the Universe, vital for forming new stars, is hydrogen. But there's a finite amount of it; what if we run out?

Redoubt Update for 5/1/2009

The slow extrusion of a new dome continues on Redoubt, but we are getting some new insights into eruption processes in the Aleutians thanks to the activity.
