Episode Details

Scientists are racing to predict sudden volcanic eruptions using machine learning that analyzes subtle ground vibrations — potentially offering life-saving hours of warning. While the system for Whakaari volcano correctly predicted 80% of eruptions, it also triggered 15 false alarms annually. Though false alarms can cause economic disruption, experts argue the risk of losing lives outweighs the cost.
