EXTREME
SCIENTIST: RANDY WHITE
Randy is a member of a team of people that
make up the Volcano Disaster Assistance
Program (VDAP). They're usually called the
'volcano crisis assistance team' and they
were the models for the heroes of the recent
popular film, Dante's Peak. They visit volcanoes
and try to answer the same three questions:
1) Will the volcano erupt? 2) How big will
the eruption be? and 3) How much time do
we have? Their main aim is to save lives.
Randy
and his team visit volcanoes that have shown
recent increases in seismic activity. 'People
call us when they think their local volcano
is waking up. That's when we go into action.
Our entire team can be on a plane in 24
hours. That's probably the main reason we
are often called to the scene of a volcano
site.'
Randy's
team set up their equipment and show some
local people how it works and what to watch
for. When the volcano monitoring station
is in place, Randy's team moves on to the
next potentially active volcano site and
they do it all again. They keep in contact
with the local people and sometimes revisit
the sites to check everything is all right.
He
visits volcano sites about three or four
times a year, but more often if there's
increased volcanic activity. Randy and his
team were involved in predicting the eruption
of Mt Pinatubo in the Philippines. An estimated
20,000 lives were saved when his team predicted
the time, the size, and the place of the
eruption, the largest in the world in almost
80 years! Randy says he and his team have
successfully predicted several other recent
volcanic eruptions in Latin America.
