“One thing I enjoy about my job is that I can i work on something that is actually active,” says Game McGimsey,an American volcanologist ( 火山学家) .Part of his job includes keeping an eye ; on Alaska's many active volcanoes and giving people a heads-up when a volcano might erupt(喷发) .
Like most jobs in the sciences,volcanology 1requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina,then landed an zw 纪(实习 期) with a geologist at the (美国地质勘探 局) whose area of expertise was volcanoes. After earning a graduate degree at the University of Colorado,McGimsey accepted a job with the USGS and has been with the Alaska Volcano Observatory for 25 years.
Volcanoes can influence the world in ways we might not think about. For example,on Dec. 15,1989,a 747 jetliner (a large airplane) flew through a thick ash (灰) cloud、produced by Mount Redoubt,an Alaskan volcano that hadn,t erupted in 25 years. The ash caused all four engines to die,and the plane5 s electronics went dead.a The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots gpt 教 couple of the engines restarted and landed safely in Anchorage,” McGimsey says. It cost nearly $80 million to repair the damage to the plane.
Such situations show just how dangerous volcanoes can be. However,volcanologists know the risks and are prepared to protect themselves.
“There is certainly a higher danger level in volcanology than some other jobs”’ McGimsey admits. aWe understand how serious the danger is,and we don't like taking unnecessary chances. We avoid getting too close to an erupting volcano,because it's not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or photograph."
