I think:
He must be brave enough because he must climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside.
Interest is the most important. He should show great interest in studying rocks and volcanoes.
He should be interested in travelling to unusual places and like adventure in his life.
He should enjoy working outside because of a lot of work need to be done outdoors.Summary:We do need volcanologists who are brave enough, energetic, hardworking to do research into volcanoes and reduce its damage to human beings.
In face of such disasters, humans are not completely powerless. However, the best way to reduce natural disasters is to protect nature so that humans and nature can live in harmony(和谐共处).
