Personally, this kind of video might be my favorite type. It’s a churning lava lake that explodes outward when the rim collapses, sending debris everywhere. Is this your kind of clip also? If not, what about this planet excites you?

If you have an answer to that question, you’re the person we’re looking for. We are currently recruiting for enthusiastic new volunteer writers for the TES Facebook page and blog.

What we are looking for is individuals who are passionate about the Earth Sciences, be it Geology, Oceanography, Meteorology, Environmental Science or any other branch of science that tells the story of Earth. You will be joining a team of fellow enthusiasts and we promise to make you feel at home! You don’t need a science degree or experience in writing; we can help with all that. We’re happy to provide training in writing, outreach, and even how to come up with a story to write.

If you are interested in joining our team, please message the TES Facebook page and we will get back to you. We will be asking each person to submit an original sample post on a topic of their choosing- so get thinking!

Thank you all for reading; we look forward to your posts and to bringing those posts to the rest of our readers soon.

-The Earth Story.
