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. For those who like nice pictures in deference to hard data, here are a few links to some fascinating high resolution images of the eruption: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/MSH/Images/MSH04/ The following image compares a visual image of the erupting lava with an infrared view that shows the heat of the magma: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Imgs/Jpg/M...-13-04_med.jpg For those who are interested in more technical aspects, here is a link to the available near-real-time seismographs of the region: http://www.pnsn.org/WEBICORDER/GREEN/welcome.html To use this page, scroll down and locate a particular sesimograph station (for instance, Cedar Flats, at Mt. St. Helens) and click on the latest link for the latest seismograph of tremor activity at that station. For those who want even more technical information, try the following link, which will take you to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, and lots of information on Mt. St. Helens and other volcanoes in the region: http://www.pnsn.org/welcome.html Just for fun, take a look at this site if you want to see what really large eruptions have done in the past compared to the 1980 Mt St Helens eruption: http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/...esia/toba.html And this last link gives plots of earthquake locations on Mt St Helens, time-depth plots, and tremor magnitude over time. http://www.geophys.washington.edu/SE...lensep_mo.html I can answer most any questions you may have, so feel free to ask. Enjoy. |

Not so? -- derek |

Wow, George, thanks for all the links!
The always in the back of the mind question here is Mt. Rainer and will it go the way Mt. St. Helens goes? The area below it being much more populated.. From where I live there are two ways easiest to take to get over the mts. and head to Seattle. One curves right around Mt. Rainer and can be a spectacular drive. I've stopped driving that route... ;-) kathy :-) zone 7, SE WA state |

Enjoy. Thanks for all that. I visited MSH in March 1999; it was fascinating. We drove up to what I guess is Coldwater Ridge Visitors Center to have a look at the "nasty" side of the volcano -- what incredible devastation, even 19 years later! So, I've been keeping an eye on that site the last few weeks. The following day we went around the south side and explored about 30 minutes into the lower section of Ape Cave. We would have gone farther, but we had kids with us, who'd already walked a good ways uphill through deep snow to get there -- the road was only plowed to the previous gate. Definitely worth it, though! Some day DW and I are going back and do the whole Cave, top to bottom (assuming the mountain doesn't blow sky-high and wreck the place, or something). -- Kizhe |

wrote in message ... 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.
