NEXT ON NOVA: "VOLCANO'S DEADLY WARNING"
http://www.pbs.org/nova/volcano/
Broadcast: November 12, 2002
(NOVA airs Tuesdays on PBS at 8 p.m. Check your local listings as
dates and times may vary.)
In January 1993, six scientists, confident that no eruption was
imminent, descended into the smoking mouth of Colombia's Galeras
volcano and perished when it suddenly exploded. Eight years earlier,
the eruption of another Colombian volcano, Nevada del Ruiz, unleashed
mudflows that buried 23,000 people in the town of Armero. In both
cases, a revolutionary new theory for predicting eruptions based on a
mysterious seismic signal might have saved lives -- in Armero's case
tens of thousands of lives. "Volcano's Deadly Warning" focuses on the
new prediction technique, developed by Bernard Chouet of the U.S.
Geological Survey.
