Dr. Arianna Soldati is a volcanologist. She is especially interested in the interplay between the physical properties of lava, which can only be measured in the lab, and the appearance of lava in the field. Field observations are often the only data available to volcanologists, but it's the physical properties that determine the distance and speed of a lava flow.
