Anybody following long period events in determining if/when it will blow?
Where is
Bernard Chouet these days? Ingrid


When it will blow? It has already blown, several times, in fact. If you are
asking if it will blow in a large eruption, then all I can tell you is my own
opinion. In my professional opinion, I doubt that we will see any large
eruption from the current dome-building activity. Having said that, volcanos
like to make liars out of geologists. So the answer is that nobody really knows
at this time, but from current data, a large eruption is unlikely.

I'm a geologist, and have been monitoring the volcano remotely (i.e., online)
since the first rumble started in September. This eruption and the Parkfield
earthquake in california lasty month have kept us all very busy and drooling
over the mountain of data these events have produced. Needless to say, the
current eruption will go down as the most closely watched, and the most
thoroughly studied volcanic event ever in the continental U.S. It has
confirmed
many ideas on how these eruptions occur while startling us by showing clearly
how much more there is to discover.
