Exploring Volcanoes with NASA’s GEODES Team

From the creator

Close your eyes. Listen. Imagine lava seeping from the Earth, flowing and melting rock in its path. That’s what inspired musician and composer Ben Cosgrove’s new instrumental, “Volcano.” As an Artist-in-Residence, Cosgrove accompanied NASA’s Geophysical Exploration of the Dynamics and Evolution of the Solar System (GEODES) team to Lava Beds National Monument, where he participated in planetary science research to develop methods and tools to explore the surface of the Moon. In this music video, you’ll see members of the GEODES team operating instruments including ground-penetrating radar, seismometers, magnetometers, drones, and gravitometers in lunar-like landscapes in Hawaii, California, and Arizona. When combined, these instruments provide an overall picture of the surface structure and what’s below. So sit back, tune in, and let the music transport you – from lava beds on the surface of the Earth and the Moon, to the volcanic depths of the solar system, and beyond.
