Floating Rocks

Floating Rocks explores the fascinating phenomenon of volcanic pumice, rocks that defy their density to float across oceans. This book examines how explosive volcanic eruptions create these floating rocks, detailing the crucial role of vesicularity – countless air pockets – that make pumice buoyant. These pumice rafts aren't just geological oddities; they significantly impact marine ecosystems by transporting marine organisms and influencing coastal erosion.

The book delves into well-known pumice raft events, such as the one from the 2012 Havre Seamount eruption, using satellite imagery and biological surveys to track their movement and ecological effects. It connects volcanology, oceanography, and marine biology to provide a comprehensive view of how these floating islands act as agents of dispersal and change, potentially introducing species to new environments. This interdisciplinary approach sets it apart from studies focusing solely on geology.

Progressing from pumice formation to real-world pumice raft events and their ecological consequences, the book offers insights into the dispersal of marine species and the risks of invasive species. Aimed at students, researchers, and enthusiasts, Floating Rocks provides accurate, objective information with practical applications for marine conservation and hazard assessment.
