Searched the image itself using Google Image (uploaded the picture) and it took me the Guardian's video. From there I searched the name of the volcano AND pyramid which led me to the American Institute of Archaeology & their peer reviewed journal Archaeology archive & gave me the names Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Great Pyramid of Cholula although the article stated that the names of the "gods" were not known. Next the composition : searched Popocatépetl caldera composition and found the Natural History Museum field work blogs http://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/community/nature-live/field-work-with-nature-live/blog/tags/popocatepetl?fromGateway=true : see the field notes diagram about half way down the blog. Major agency in Mexico Centro Nacional de Prevencion de Desastres (CENAPRED) <br />Date of last major lava eruption : searched "Great Pyramid of Cholula" lava and got 2 estimations : 1) in 2004 "the middle of the first century A.D" http://www.famsi.org/reports/02042/02042Plunket01.pdf ; 2) last major eruption 965-880 years ago with http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-73759-6_6#page-1 . <br />Potential for more : searched Popocatépetl potential for eruptions and got a University of Phillidelphia power point on the subject www.pitt.edu/~super7/50011-51001/50231.ppt and the older article Volcan Popocatepetl: Recent Eruptive History, and Potential Hazards and Risks in Future Eruptions http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-73759-6_6#page-1 .

I find <a href="http://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/news-media/online-information-credibility-google-generation-research-review-tips-resources#" rel="nofollow">Journalists Resource</a> and who is the research scientist identified as an expert in the subject of credible researching, our own Dr. Dan Russell.

CEOS (...Query [ mexican agency volcano monitoring]<br /><br /><a href="http://ceos.org/index.phpoption=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=358&Itemid=495#KeyOutcomes" rel="nofollow">CEOS</a> (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) looks like a huge conglomeration of agencies coming together to utilize satellites for environmental observations. It has a section specific to volcanoes and lists projects involved with CEOS for monitoring-<br />Geo-hazards Supersites and Natural Laboratories, CSA Volcano Watch, EVOSS, NOAA Volcanic Cloud Monitoring and<br />Global Volcano Model.<br /><br />Along with these projects we can gather the names of various people, institutes and agencies involved such as USGS, NOAA, NASA, along with several agencies worldwide. For the purposes of credibility it helps to identify key names related to our subject that in turn can lead us to other sites and support our findings. <br /><br />When I think of credibility I immediately think of Google Scholar. However when dealing with such a technical & complex subject such as volcano composition, structure & eruptions I find it easy to get swallowed up when viewing intellectual papers. For me knowing how to glean useful information for our searches from in-depth papers would be quite beneficial. I realize a key tool of course is the Control F. The ability to grab just enough information and remain focused on our purpose. Taking notes helps but I would like to improve in this area. <br /><br /><br />Rosemary Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291661159622665464noreply@blogger.com
