Marcus Bursik, UB professor of geology and a leading expert on volcanic ash cloud transport, was interviewed on NPR's "Morning Edition" this morning regarding the volcanic ash cloud that has halted air traffic throughout Europe for days. Bursik discussed his recent research showing that volcanic plumes tend to end up in the jetstream and remain there, thus disrupting air traffic. Bursik also quoted in stories appearing in today's USA Today and Newsweek.
