Great video, thank you for this. As an Environmental Science graduate, doing my masters in Environmental Geology I find this is very interesting stuff, though it lacks some of the technical information I would have liked, however this video is meant for the general public and as such does a great job of explaining some cool stuff. I was pleased to hear you mention that the nearby visitor centre area actually sank by a couple of millimetres, because I was already thinking that the expansion of the lava dome must mean a reduction in mass elsewhere and wondered if the local surface geography had seen the results of this movement of matter.

Curious,
How far down would one have to dig in the dome to reach magma?
Will you be using drone technology soon instead of walking into the crater or using expensive helicopters to drop Spyders?
That's the USGS, of course they're going to spend as much money as NASA, that's the government's way.
Aww, gee whiz...a glacier while climate change is happening
