Here in seattle, volcanoes feel like an afterthought attached to the thing that's actually scary, which is the Cascadia Subduction Zone[1]. There's an hour long presentation from CWU [2] that's dry but fascinating, and pretty free of popsci FUD. When the CSZ eventually goes, it's gonna be truly catastrophic.

The guy giving the talk in that video is Nick Zentner. He's great and manages to make what could otherwise be fairly dry content very interesting.... and he's got his own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GeologyNick

His "Ice Age Floods A to Z" series was must watch TV for me last winter.


Yeah, it was great ...and he's already prepping for a 'Cascade Volcanos A-Z' series starting this November 6 to Feb 15 2025. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SVMH4ZA7cU
