They created the world’s first only zip line into an active volcano, plunging over 1,200 feet just above a huge, heaving lava lake where temperatures regularly exceed 1,000 degrees Celsius. The system allowed the crew to install and reposition wireless sensors that collect pressure, tremors, humidity levels and other data.

Reynolds’ passion for technology and academics is part of her legacy. By securing that first job at OSU, she enabled her husband to finish his college degree, which he’d postponed to serve in the Army, and then earn a master’s degree. He later worked as a technical editor in the school’s engineering department. Her son Brett earned degrees in mechanical engineering and fire protection, daughter Valerie Hyde works with her husband in an industrial-safety consultancy whose clients have included GE, and Scott works in information technology for American Airlines.
