Fire: Mixing Volcanic Fire and Water - Crater Lakes and Volcanic Hydrology

Explore the fascinating intersection of volcanic activity and water in this 39-minute AGU podcast episode. Delve into the surprising appearance of water in Kīlauea Volcano's Halema'uma'u crater in 2019, a phenomenon not seen in at least 200 years. Discover how this short-lived crater lake provided valuable insights into water movement within volcanic settings. Journey from Kīlauea's summit to Lake Taupo, one of the world's largest crater lakes, to understand the complex interactions between fire and water in volcanic environments. Gain knowledge about the formation and significance of volcanic crater lakes, and learn how geologists use these unique features to expand our understanding of volcanic processes. Produced by Avery Shinneman and mixed by Collin Warren, with illustrations by Jace Steiner, this episode offers an engaging exploration of the dynamic relationship between volcanoes and water.
