- S'ils sont bien ramonés, les volcans brûlent doucement et régulièrement, sans éruptions. Les éruptions volcaniques sont comme des feux de cheminée. Evidemment sur notre terre nous sommes beaucoup trop petits pour ramoner nos volcans. C'est pourquoi ils nous causent des tas d'ennuis. -

The world of volcanoes and earthquakes!
If you're curious about science or just a little bit nerdy - check out some of this stuff:
A map view of large earthquakes worldwide in the past week, provided by my previous employers at the GFZ Potsdam.
Felt one in Wellington? A summary of recent earthquakes in New Zealand, provided by GeoNet. Also look at the activity of New Zealand volcanoes, in case you're wondering whether to buy a season pass for Ruapehu for the upcoming skiing season.
Tales from our cruise around the South Island in January/February 2010, written by Anne Sheehan.
Here an explanation of what I do from a slightly different perspective: Drawn at a Whiskey tasting on St.Paddy's Day 2008 when I worked at the GFZ Potsdam. Refreshingly scientific - yeah, right! Huuge thanks to Erik for keeping these over the years, even moving them to a new house and sending them to me!!
