THE LAKEIS BREATHING.
A live field record from the north rim of Mount Serein. The crust is rafting east. The gas column is building. Nothing here is still.
Lake breathing again.
Eight-metre heave / 43 sec.
THREE NEEDLES.
ONE NERVOUS MOUNTAIN.
Every line below is being drawn now. Tap, click, or press anywhere: the station will interpret your contact as a local seismic event and write it into the record.
Minor eruptive activity confined to the summit caldera. Ballistic exclusion zone: 2.5 km.
WHAT THE
AIR IS SAYING
DOAS beam crossed the plume 86 times. Wind correction confidence 92%.
A COLUMN OF
UNFINISHED PRESSURE.
The conduit model fuses infrasound, tilt and gas chemistry. Tonight it places the foam layer 610 metres below the lake—shallow enough for every collapse to answer at the surface.
