Volcano Watching started as a

series of weekly newspaper

columns which were printed in

the Hawaii Tribune Herald. One

of our aims was to provide for

local readers and visitors alike a

glimpse into the mysterious, and

often violent, inner workings of

the volcanoes that have shaped

these Hawaiian Islands. We also

hoped to shed some light on the

much less violent, but almost as

mysterious, inner workings of a

volcano observatory and the

techniques that are used to

decipher the clues that the

volcanoes send us.

Robert Decker was Professor of

Geophysics at Dartmouth College

until 1979, and has since been

appointed Scientist in Charge

of the U.S. Geological Survey s

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Barbara Decker is a freelance
