Author Information

Rick Hazlett received his PhD in geology from the University of Southern California and his master's degree from Dartmouth College. His graduate work included volcanic hazards evaluation around San Cristobal Volcano in Nicaragua and mapping of the Mopah Range volcanic field in California's Mojave Desert. Subsequent research included studies in Italy, the Aleutian Islands, and Hawaiʻi. He taught for nearly thirty years at Pomona College in Claremont, California, where he helped found the Environmental Analysis Program. He is coauthor of Volcanoes: A Global Perspective (Wiley-Blackwell Press) and is presently retired in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Cheryl Gansecki teaches geology courses at the University of Hawaiʻi-Hilo and intensive volcanology field camps in Hawaiʻi for the Black Hills Field Station. She holds a BA in earth science and archaeology from Wesleyan University and a PhD in geology from Stanford University. She has researched volcanoes in Greece, Yellowstone, and Hawaiʻi. She works with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory to monitor Kīlauea Volcano, both in the field and in the lab studying the chemistry of erupted lava. She also filmed and produced many educational videos--and a card game--about volcanoes along with spouse and fellow volcanologist, Ken Hon. Steve Lundblad experienced firsthand the eruption of Mt. St. Helens because it covered his hometown with ash during his high school years. This encounter, coupled with his interest in the outdoors, fostered his interest in volcanoes and geology. Steve received his BA from Harvard University and earned a master's degree at the University of Wisconsin and a PhD at the University of North Carolina. He is currently a professor of Geology at University of Hawaiʻi-Hilo and is the recipient of the 2018 UH Board of Regents Excellence in Teaching Award. Along with his students, Steve monitors ground deformation of the Kīlauea Volcano.
