Eruptions suggestion thread

Got any suggestions for Eruptions? Let me know!

I’ll be busy for a couple days when I’m off at University of Iowa, so I thought I’d leave this thread available for you to talk. Specifically, I’m interested in what you might be interested in seeing (or not seeing) on Eruptions. I’ve tried a number of features (Mystery Volcano Photo, Q&A;, Volcano Profiles) – do you want to see more/see less of these features with the usual volcano news? More/less coverage of volcano research from the literature? Let me know what you think and how things might be better.

See you next week!
