Climate change, receding glaciers increase landslide risk on B.C.'s Mount Meager

Glyn Williams-Jones, a volcanologist from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby has been studying the fumaroles, or gas venting, of water vapour, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide from the volcano for about two years. He and his team of students are also examining the increased risk of landslides c
