Abstract

Playing with Fire is a documentary I started working on in the spring of 2010 after meeting Brigham Young University faculty member Dr. Jani Radebaugh. Dr. Radebaugh is a phenomenal geologist and is known around the world for her work in planetary geology, particularly for her studies of volcanic activity in our solar system. Lately, Radebaugh has focused her research on the volcanoes of Io, a moon of Jupiter and the most volcanically active body in our solar system. As Radebaugh watches the volcanic activity on Io, she believes she is more capable of understanding what early Earth looked like and even how our home planet might have been created.
