	Description:		Ongoing tremors underneath Lake Taupō have seen the alert level for the supervolcano rise for the first time in history. Geologists are closely monitoring the site, while a series of other shallow quakes have jolted Kiwis across the country. So what’s the science behind all these tectonic movements at the moment? And is there anything for us to worry about yet? Today, Dr Finn Illsley-Kemp, a seismologist from Victoria University of Wellington, is on The Front Page to help Damien make sense of the disturbances beneath the surface.
