North Manchester FM
During the initial media excitement about the Eyjafjallajokull eruption I gave a number of radio and newspaper interviews about the state of the volcano and subglacial eruptions. Of the lot, my favourite was easily the one that I did for the Science and Technology Show on North Manchester FM. It lasted nearly 20 minutes and covered not just the Eyjafjallajokull eruption, but a discussion of volcanology in general.
They were kind enough to send me an mp3 of the interview, which you can download and listen to by clicking on THIS LINK (Best to right-click, then press 'Save link as' or whatever option your browser gives). There were plenty mmms and errrs, and I was trying to remember a lot of figures off the top of my head, so don't quote any of them without checking them first, but the general idea is there.
The Science and Technology Show is hosted by Paul Lynock and is on Wednesday from 12:00-14:00hrs. You can listen on 106.6 FM in the Manchester area, or at http://www.northmanchesterfm.org.
Eruption update
The latest updates from the Nordic Volcanological Centre show that the eruption is continuing at a low level. The volcano has built a cone about 150 m tall within the hole that it melted through the glacier. It continues to produce lava, which flows northwards, and small amounts of ash, which rises to heights of about 4 km (as opposed to 10 km during the explosive phase), and which have caused closures of Keflavik (international) and Reykjavik (domestic) airports. The tremor is still going steadily, so the eruption doesn't look like stopping soon. Katla remains quiet.
