Pretty neat to understand the charts and maps better after so many online videos, Shawn. [Bruce, your graph shows (graphically 😉) a very interesting earthquake relationship.] Katla's event adds to our knowledge of the Icelanders' lives! Interesting but challenging. Thanks again!

The ground rise thing, that's awesome. I do the exact same thing with Kilauea. For the most part at Kilauea, it's a range of 0.20 meters to 0.25 meters of total ground uplift before an intrusion. I also like the projection of end of August, that's what I called about a month ago. ;)
