Help EDITIONS Change to UK Friday, 14 February, 2003, 16:29 GMT Listening to 'singing volcanoes' Infrasound is detectable from many geophysical events By Christine McGourty BBC science correspondent in Denver Infrasound - low-frequency sound beyond the scope of the human ear - is providing scientists with a new way of detecting tornadoes, incoming asteroids and erupting volcanoes. Some [volcanoes] are operatic. Others have no singing talent whatsoever, Milton Garces, University of Hawaii The researchers working in the field reviewed their progress at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Denver. They have been the beneficiaries of a £20m global infrasound network that was originally intended to help verify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. But atom bombs are not the only things the soon-to-be-completed 60 monitoring stations of the network will listen in on.

82. Virunga National Park UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park of Virunga offers within its 790,000 hectares an incomparable diversity of habitats from swamps and steppes to the snowfields of Rwenzori at an altitude of over 5,000 m, and from the lava plains to the savannahs on the slopes of the volcanoes. http://www.unesco.org/whc/sites/63.htm

Virunga National Park Democratic Rep. of the Congo 95% dans la région du Kivu et 5% dans la région du Haut Zaire 0° 55' N, 29° 10' E Map Inscribed : Criteria: N (ii) (iii) (iv) Justification for Inscription: Report of the 3rd Session of the Committee Inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger: Justification for Inscription: Report of the 18th Session of the Committee Brief description: Virunga National Park (covering an area of 790,000 ha) comprises an outstanding diversity of habitats, ranging from swamps and steppes to the snowfields of Rwenzori at an altitude of over 5,000 m, and from lava plains to the savannahs on the slopes of volcanoes. Mountain gorillas are found in the park, some 20,000 hippopotamuses live in the rivers and birds from Siberia spend the winter there. Threats to the Site: Virunga National Park was inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger at the 18th Session of the World Heritage Committee (1994) in the wake of the war in neighbouring Rwanda and the subsequent massive influx of refugees from that country which led to massive deforestation and poaching at the site. Many members of the Park staff had not been remunerated for almost a year. Poaching of wildlife has continued and the staff lacks the means of patrolling the Park's 650 km long boundary. The human population in the fishing village near Lake Edward has increased several fold, posing a serious threat to the integrity of the Park. The fuel wood requirements of almost one million refugees camping inside the Park is estimated at 600 metric tons/day and is leading to widespread depletion of forests in the lowlands. Fortunately, the mountain gorilla whose habitat is at a higher altitude, have been spared so far.

Earth Science How Volcanoes Work by Tom Harris Hot Rock Moving Plates Erupting Magma ... Shop or Compare Prices Photo courtesy USGS The 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens, in Washington state. Whenever there is a major volcanic eruption in the world, you'll see a slew of newspaper articles and nightly news stories covering the catastrophe, all stressing a familiar set of words violent, raging, awesome. When faced with a spewing volcano, people today share many of the same feelings volcano-observers have had throughout human history: We are in awe of the destructive power of nature, and we are unsettled by the thought that a peaceful mountain can suddenly become an unstoppable destructive force! While scientists have cleared up much of the mystery surrounding volcanoes, our knowledge has not made volcanoes any less amazing. In this edition of How Stuff Works , we'll take a look at the powerful, violent forces that create eruptions, and see how these eruptions build volcanic structures like islands. The next time a big eruption is in the news, you'll know exactly where that destructive power is coming from!

Canada has examples of almost every type of volcano. Although none are erupting now, at least 3 did in the last few hundred years and numerous others have the potential to erupt in the near future. Other countries' volcanoes also can affect Canadians: eruptions in Alaska or along the west coast of the U.S.A. can impact agriculture and air travel across western Canada. Mt. Baker in particular has the potential to affect the Fraser Valley. In addition, large-magnitude eruptions anywhere in the world may affect our weather.

A vast area of primary tropical forest dominated by two extinct volcanoes, Kahuzi and Biega, the park is populated with a diverse and abundant fauna. One of the last groups of mountain gorillas lives between 2,100 and 2,400 metres above sealevel. http://whc.unesco.org/sites/137.htm

Kahuzi-Biega National Park Democratic Rep. of the Congo Region du Kivu 2° 10' S, 28° 40' E Inscribed : Criteria: N (iv) Justification for Inscription: Report of the 4th Session of the Committee Inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger: Justification for Inscription: Report of the 21st Session of the Committee Brief description: A vast area of primary tropical forest dominated by two spectacular extinct volcanoes, Kahuzi and Biega, the park has a diverse and abundant fauna. One of the last groups of mountain gorillas (consisting of only some 250 individuals) lives at between 2,100 and 2,400 m above sea-level. Threats to the Site: Grave concern that portions of the park had been deforested and that hunting had been reported there, as well as war and civil strife ravaging the country, led the World Heritage Committee to inscribe the site on the List of World Heritage in Danger The site has been much affected by the influx of refugees. Park facilities had been looted and destroyed, and most of the park staff have fled the area. The park may also be serving as a hideout for large militia groups, as well as for illegal settlers. This has led to fires, increased poaching and the illegal removal and burning of timber. IUCN has received several pleas from the staff of the Park for international aid to rebuild both park-infrastructure and staff morale.
