Volcanic eruption in Japan

The erruption of Mount Otake

Mount Otake erupted without warning this past weekend. 36 people are feared dead. Rescuers were forced to suspend their search for more bodies or survivors due to fears of toxic gas. Judith Patterson, a professor in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, can discuss volcanoes, eruptions and the challenges rescue workers face.
