NY Virtual Volcano Observatory

Did you know that the Hudson River abuts the evidence of a mass extinction event so large that it killed off nearly all life on Earth, setting the stage for the rise of the dinosaurs, and is visible in New Jersey in the Hudson Palisades, Brazil, Morocco, and France? The CAMP (Central Atlantic Magmatic Province) underground movement of magma occurred 200 million years ago. Rock samples from it as well as experimental art-science outreach of Earth science data and understandings are presented each year May-Nov on Governors Island in the New York Virtual Volcano Observatory (NYVVO)!
