Dr. 凯拉·亚科维诺从小就是《首页》的粉丝. She watched “The Next Generation” series with her family, went to conventions with friends and found inspiration in its theme of exploration – as a frontier and of human nature itself. As an Experimental Petrologist and Volcanologist, her explorations have taken her to the southern most active volcano in the world, the Erebus volcano in Antarctica and even the world’s largest lava lake at Mount Nyiragongo in South Africa.
大多数日子里, you’ll find Kayla at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where she works as part of 正规博彩十大网站排名’ team in the Experimental Petrology lab.
Volcanoes shape our lives, whether or not we realize it. 和, Kayla and the team at use a combination of fieldwork, laboratory experiments and thermodynamic modeling to better understand the inner workings of crustal volcanic systems, 以及灾难性喷发发生的时间和原因.

“There are so many reasons that a volcano might impact a person. 即使他们不在火山附近, 比如在爱荷华州中部, they might be impacted indirectly in a number of ways if there’s a big eruption that disrupts global trade routes. It might be something as small as an increase in the price of a product that they buy because it’s coming from overseas, or a food item that they can’t get because that year the crop was decimated by an eruption.”

突破:《首页》
Follow Kayla along on a journey inside of a volcano in Costa Rica and all the way back to Johnson Space Center in a recent episode of “突破:女性科学肖像,” a new NPR documentary series that profiles scientists and how their lives and work intersect.
在她的一集, “火山旅行者,” Kayla explains how gases and crystals released by volcanoes provide important clues into why volcanoes erupt.
She earned her PhD in volcanology and experimental petrology from the University of Cambridge and bachelor of science in geological sciences at Arizona State University. In addition to “Breakthrough,” Kayla has appeared in several other documentary series.
