Submitted by Susanne M. Straub
Image Description: Illustrates a catastrophic volcanic eruption about 26,500 yrs ago, which devastated the North Island of New Zealand. Such event can happen again. We find traces of other such eruption in the marine sediment by ocean drilling. Can we infer from past time series the likelihood of such eruption in the future?
