- Barry_Voight abstract "Barry Voight (born 1937) is an American volcanologist and engineer. He is also the brother of actor Jon Voight and songwriter Chip Taylor, and the uncle of actress Angelina Jolie. After attending a five-year intensive dual-degree program at the University of Notre Dame, Voight became a teaching assistant there while pursuing his Master's degree. He studied at Cornell University and Columbia University, earning his Ph.D. in geology at the latter in 1965. He worked as a professor of geology at several universities, including Pennsylvania State University, where he taught from 1964 until his retirement in 2005.Voight's publication on avalanches and other mass movements attracted the attention of United States Geological Survey (USGS) employee Rocky Crandell, who asked him to look at an expanding bulge at Mount St. Helens in Washington. Voight foresaw the bulge's failure, followed by the collapse of the mountain's north flank as well as a powerful eruption. His predictions came true as St. Helens erupted in 1980; Voight was then hired by the USGS to investigate the avalanche that marked the eruption. After his work at St. Helens brought him international recognition, Voight continued researching and guiding monitoring efforts at several active volcanoes throughout his career, including Nevado del Ruiz, Mount Merapi, and Soufrière Hills. For his research, publications, and disaster prevention work as a volcanologist and engineer, Voight has been honored with several awards and citations as a lecturer.".
