West Virginia Chemical Spill

The March issue of the Natural Hazards Observer is online, with a good article on the chemical spill in West Virginia.  Special bonus: an article on what the behavior of beer in bottles tells us about volcanoes.

Natural Hazards Observer

Welcome back to the winter quarter!  I hope you are staying warm and dry.

Something interesting popped up in my email this morning: the January issue of the Natural Hazards Observer, a free newsletter from the Natural Hazards Center.  This issue has a lot about flu, Typhoon, Haiyan, and sea level rise, but most interesting to us is probably the 1-page article "Pacific Northwest Quake Could Trigger Giant Landslides."  Something to think about!
