I'm a third grade teacher in the Puget Sound area, and my class studies the Pacific Rim. I'm interested in having them track volcano activity over a ~4 week period. Is there a service you know of that they can check in to see what is happening on a day-to-day basis. Thanks! PS - I'm referring them here for other information!! (I am using my librarians e-mail address.)

Dear Amanda and students:

VolcanoWorld provides summaries of current activity at volcanoes. We often link to the Michigan Tech Volcanoes Page or Dartmouth's Electronic Volcano. They archive individual reports about eruptions. Your students might also check the homepages of the Alaska Volcano Observatory and the Cascade Volcano Observatory. The homepage of the Global Volcanism Network provides excellent information but it lags behind a month or so.

Good luck,

Steve Mattox, University of North Dakota
