The Geological Fruit Fly - The Bishop Tuff and Long Valley Caldera Eruption
Join us as we dig into the hot (and viscous!) topic of the Long Valley Caldera's explosive history. 🪨 From the dramatic six-day eruption that shaped this geological wonder to the intricate details of the Bishop Tuff, you'll get a front-row seat to the science behind these monumental volcanic events. Discover how a simple basalt intrusion led to a massive caldera-forming eruption and why the Bishop Tuff is considered the 'fruit fly' of geological studies. Along the way, we tackle the mysteries of magma evolution, thermometry, and the mind-blowing scale of these super eruptions. Whether you're…
