Finding out all the positives.

    Hi Room 2, Wow! It seems like you are right on to it with picking up the information in the talk. Volcanic activity has a huge impact in the country we live in especially with land features, soil types, tourism, mineral exploration and power generation. Well done to you all - I really enjoyed giving the talk to such an enthusiastic and knowledgable group of budding scientists. Keep up the great work - David Hill.
