Podcast: Lava in the Lab

From prodding streams of lava, to molten rock poured in the lab, to miniature flows made of analogue materials, there are many ways to study this red-hot force of nature. Today's podcast joins planetary scientist and volcanologist Dr. Elise Rumpf on a deep dive into the physics of lava flows, from the field to the lab. Because the composition of each individual lava flow depends on what happened to it on its way up to the surface, studying these rocks can tell us what's going on far below our fe...
