Volcanoes and the scientist(s)

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Identify a major development relevant to the topic of your news story and the scientist(s) involved. This could be an event, advancement, discovery, or paradigm shift. For example, if your topic is volcanoes, you could discuss the effect of NASA’s Earth Observing System Terra satellite, which can detect eruptions in sparsely populated or inaccessible regions. This technological advancement has helped scientists study volcanoes even in areas they can’t get to.
Provide a brief summary of the scientific development and the scientist(s) who contributed to it.
Briefly address how this development impacted what we know about your topic and how we study it. Use examples from your news story and from the sources you found that discuss the development.
