Volcanic Creations • Melissa Anne Pfeffer

<p>&ldquo;I wanted to work on air quality and air pollution and wanted to be outside as much as possible. So my mentor suggested I go into volcanic air pollution, and that was a great choice! We are currently having a volcanic eruption in Iceland, so I went out today, driving up and down the highway in my car with a light-measuring telescope attached to the roof to measure how much sulfur dioxide is coming out of the eruption. This helps us to predict if an eruption is coming to an end and how bad the health impacts are on local communities.</p> <p><a href="https://women-of-stem.medium.com/volcanic-creations-melissa-anne-pfeffer-f7c182df2977"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
