The weather outside was frightful, but the lava pour was delightful.
Syracuse faculty and staff gathered together on a bitterly cold January evening to watch as Assistant Professor of Studio Arts Robert Wysocki and Professor of Earth Sciences Jeff Karson turned out 100 pounds of molten basalt rock onto the snow.

Hundreds of people are converging at Syracuse University this weekend for its annual Central New York Earth Science Student Symposium (CNYESSS).
The daylong event takes place on Saturday, April 11, primarily in the Heroy Geology Laboratory. The symposium features research posters by graduate and undergraduate students from Syracuse, as well as Cornell University, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF), SUNY Oswego, Jefferson Community College and other area institutions.
A really well produced segment on the lava fountain/cannon. 6:24 in length. The video can be seen at https://vimeo.com/124006639
The clip we were a part of for the BBC’s Richard Hammond vehicle, “How to Build A Planet.” Great photography…Syracuse University was not credited in anyway shape or form; depressing because we were not paid for the appearance and the whole affair of getting out and back from Southern California was not cheap. Anyway, its worth a look. The clip is 3 minutes in length.
