Hi volcano video folks,
Te Papa, the New Zealand national museum, is rebuilding its natural history exhibit and is creating a rock recipes interactive for volcano rock types, explaining magma types, gas content and eruption styles leading to different rocks.
They are in need of high resolution video of the following processes to help explain key rock type formation.
Flow or dome facies forming obsidian (e.g. Cordón Caulle)
Formation of a large rhyolite or dacite dome (to link to crystalline silicic lava)
Formation of pumice (explosive phase of rhyolite or dacite eruption e.g. Chaiten, Cordón Caulle)
Formation of ʻaʻā lava on a stratovolcano (close-up, and perspective showing the volcano)
Formation of scoria (either andesite or basalt)
Formation of pāhoehoe lava – well covered from Hawai’ian footage already easily found.
If you have or know of suitable available high resolution footage please get in touch with me, preferably with a sample or link to the footage, and I’ll pass it along to them to consider including. They’d then get in touch directly about the actual use of any specific footage they are interested in using.
All the best,
Graham
