Tina Neal is the esteemed Scientist-in-Charge of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. She and her team oversaw the response to last year's eruption of Mt. Kilaueau, which lasted more than 100 days, destroyed more than 700 homes, and displaced thousands, but did not result in a single human fatality. That herculean effort has earned Tina a spot as a finalist for the 2019 Service to America Awards.
In this episode, we discuss what it took to pull off such a miraculous response, the appropriate relationship between scientist and policymaker, and how the US Geological Survey assists U.S. development efforts around the globe.
