0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:20.1 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yacolp.co. |
0:22.7 | .j.p. That's y-A-K-U-Lt.C-O.jp. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:32.9 | In 1912, a volcano in Alaska more than blew its top. Known as Nova Erupta, it was responsible for the most powerful volcanic eruption of the 20th century. |
0:45.3 | And the reason we care about the big eruptions because they're also the ones that scale to the biggest hazards and biggest impacts, |
0:52.3 | both locally and regionally, sometimes globally. |
0:57.0 | Christy Wallace is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey at the Alaska Volcano Observatory. |
1:05.0 | We often don't have access to the deep history, the old history. We only have the last 10 or 12,000 years. Glaciers wiped everything |
1:12.9 | else away. And so because we can't study those, we can't really speak to the biggest eruptions |
1:20.4 | through the history of the volcano. Now scientists believe they found a way to sluth out the deep |
1:26.7 | history of volcanoes such as |
1:28.9 | Novorrupta, and they're doing it with artificial intelligence. |
1:34.0 | You're listening to Scientific Americans' Science Quickly. |
1:37.4 | I'm Emily Schweng. |
1:51.5 | Nova Ruppta dramatically reworked the surrounding landscape and buried nearby communities in more than two feet of ash. |
1:57.7 | Nova Repta is a volcano, six miles away from another powerful volcano, Mount Catmai. And this wasn't the only time one of these volcanoes proved itself a powerful and dramatic volcanic force. |
2:05.4 | When we applied our model to 800,000 years of ash layers in the Gulf of Alaska, we saw that Katmai was responsible for producing a lot of the eruption deposits in these marine corps, |
2:20.6 | going all the way back to 800,000 years. |
2:22.6 | And they looked almost identical geochemically to the 1912 eruptions. |
2:28.3 | Jordan Lovers is a third year postdoctoral fellow and geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. |
