Conclusions The area is popular among tourists from L.A. & San Diego Many volcanoes have been mapped in the vicinity Long Valley supervolcano erupted 760,000 years ago Mammoth Lakes has been seismically active since 1980 The area is geothermally active with hot springs, CO2 gas Most likely is a smaller, Mt. St. Helens type eruption USGS’s Long Valley Observatory (LVO) works with local communities, businesses, government to monitor and warn citizens in the area of potential volcanic hazards
