My Photo Gallery
Here are some pictures from
STROBE 2001, the field
research project for my Master's Thesis at UNC. Note: For my
pictures to view properly, you must look at them in
Internet Explorer.
Please bear with me while I try to solve the problem with Netscape.
Here I am checking to make sure all is well at our station fossetta. A close of the aa lavaflow at Mt. Etna (and Jonathan's boots!) That's me in front of a lava flow at Mt. Etna. At the end of a long day of station installation, I stand in front of the Stromboli three-ring circus. I'm on the ferry leaving Stromboli (in the background) and on to Etna. It's quite a hike up the "short way," a.k.a. the "steep way." Here's another pic of me on the way up to the top of Stromboli. Explosion at the southwest crater Stromboli on the dawn of our departure Close-up of the Sciara del Fuoco and the NE crater. Here's part of the STROBE 2001 crew hard at work at pizzo. The view of the lava flow at Mt. Etna from the observatory at dusk. Etna from the observatory. The small smoking vent was producing the lava flow during our visit. Explosion at the SW crater, Stromboli. Fault on the northeast side of Stromboli, by boat to Ginostra. Casa de Flora, our quarters during our stay at Stromboli. Station Fortini with explosion from the NE crater in the background. Jonathan, Katy, Robbie, and I checking the Station Fossetta. Here is a nice picture of geologic history in the Fossetta. Jonathan and I checking Station Fossetta Geology near Pizzo. Notice the angular unconformity, probably caused by slumping. World's Smallest Harbor, Ginostra. Boy, was I thankful for my one ride in the helecopter. View of Stromboli from the helecopter. Crater two: puffer in the foreground, behind it is a yellow-ish hornito, which provides a very loud eruption, and to the right,an inactive hornito. The arrow points to the source of the "sonic boom" eruptions, crater two, Stromboli. A close-up of a lava flow at Mt. Etna, Sicily. Another close-up of Etna's lava. Lava flow, Mt. Etna, Sicily. These brave souls are taking temperatures of the lava flow at Mt. Etna. Since the ferry can't dock in the world's smallest harbor, a small boat has to bring Ginostra passengers out to meet the ferry. The beautiful island of Lipari, pumice quarry. Maurizio "Maestro" Ripepe at work fixing a blown fuse, as Jonathan observes. The man behind the mission, Maurizio Ripepe. View from the observatory at Stromboli. The morning scene at the observatory as everyone gets ready to hike up to the top of Stromboli. Part of the research team standing in front the observatory at Mt. Etna. An old lava flow at Stromboli. Sorry I can't remember the date! Another picture of the old lava flow. The hypnotic puffer at Stromboli. Sciara del Fuoco and the NE crater rim. View of the Sciara del Fuoco by boat. Stromboli from boat to Ginostra. An annoyed Jonathan looks on as the tourist, who was found napping on top of our seismometer, packs his bags. The crew from UNC-Chapel Hill, l to r: me, Jonathan, and Katy. View of Stromboli Volcano from the porch of Casa del Flora. View of the Stromboli's craters from Pizzo.
