Meet some of the badass women of volcanology.
A Pioneer in Volcanology
However, this trail blazing wasn’t without consequence. Keith remembers that she and her husband ran opposite day and night shifts to handle the care of their sons. She was a consummate scientist, and her colleagues were supportive of her work. Self-described as “more comfortable hiding in a lab”, she was also willing to talk to anyone respectfully. These traits meant she found herself in a growing number of leadership roles across the USGS.
Back in the fire station parking lot, Van Eaton was only a few nights into her time at Kīlauea. Three other USGS volcanologists were coming off the flows and three, including Van Eaton, arrived to take over for them. The six scientists exchanged notes, checked safety gear and discussed conditions on the volcano.
As the 21st century arrived, there still weren’t many role models worldwide of women leading volcano observatories. In 2004, Gardner “accidently” oversaw the reawakening of Mount St. Helens. She was named the Acting Scientist in Charge of Cascades Volcano Observatory the day before the volcano reawakened, making her the first female SIC of CVO. The transition wasn’t easy for an introvert thrust into the limelight, but it was highly rewarding.
