Join us as we dig into the hot (and viscous!) topic of the Long Valley Caldera's explosive history. 🪨 From the dramatic six-day eruption that shaped this geological wonder to the intricate details of the Bishop Tuff, you'll get a front-row seat to the science behind these monumental volcanic events. Discover how a simple basalt intrusion led to a massive caldera-forming eruption and why the Bishop Tuff is considered the 'fruit fly' of geological studies. Along the way, we tackle the mysteries of magma evolution, thermometry, and the mind-blowing scale of these super eruptions. Whether you're a geology aficionado or just curious about the forces that shape our Earth, you won't want to miss this deep dive into one of the planet's most fascinating volcanic stories! 🌍💥

Join us as we embark on a volcanic journey delving deep into the fiery mechanics of the Long Valley Caldera. In this episode, we dissect the intricate process of mantle-derived basalt and its trans-crustal journey leading to magmatic differentiation and colossal eruptions. We explore the evolution of magma, touching on essential principles like partial melting, crystal assimilation, and fractional crystallization. Don’t miss out on this magma-nificent discussion that builds up to the explosive eruption in their next episode!
