HI, Thanks for the reply. I am looking for just some general questions mostly. A few questions would be about the person's job and some more 'fluffy' ones about what they like best about their jobs, and the most difficult thing being a geologist studying volcanoes. For AVO specifically, I want to ask: - What do you think is unique about the volcanoes in Alaska compared to volcanoes in other parts of the United States or world? - What do you think is the biggest misconception about volcanoes in Alaska? - Why don't you think the Novarupta eruption is more well known? - How do you explain a pyroclastic flow to someone who knows nothing about them? - What scares you the most about volcanoes in Alaska? Is there a volcano you worry the most about? - What is something that you wish everyone knew about volcanoes, the AVO, or volcanoes in Alaska? I hope that helps--let me know if there is anything else you might want from me. Much appreciated, Bryanna On Tue, Nov 3, 2020 at 11:03 AM wrote:

Hi Bryanna -

In order to better direct you to a specific person, could you list a few of the specific questions you intend to ask?

Thank you! cheryl

Hello,

I am looking to conduct an interview with a volcanologist at AVO with some general questions about Alaskan volcanoes. I worked as a ranger in Katmai in 2014 and am now finishing a book about traveling to volcanoes around the world. I would like to talk to a scientist on the record to make sure I have the story of these volcanoes correct and to possibly use their answers as quotes in the book. I would like to set up a phone or Zoom call if possible.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Bryanna Plog
