The Alaska Volcano Observatory; Fifteen years of working to mitigate the risk to aviation from volcanic ash in the North Pacific Tom Murray USGS - Alaska Volcano Observatory June 2004 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY (AVO) 1986 – Augustine Volcano erupts 1988 – AVO founded as partnership between U.S. Geological Survey, University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and the State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys December 14, 1989 – Redoubt Volcano erupts December 15, 1989 – A 747 flies into an ash cloud from Redoubt and experiences complete engine failure on all 4 engines before landing safely in Anchorage

Expanded seismic monitoring to unmonitored volcanoes

Established a remote sensing group as an integral part of the observatory

Thermal Anomalies

Shishaldin Volcano, Viewing Angle Affects The thermal anomaly was only visible in AVHRR imagery when viewing the crater at low zenith angles.

Undertook a program of geologic studies to determine the eruptive history and potential of Alaskan volcanoes

Summary Volcano Hazard Map Akutan Volcano AKUTAN VOLCANO

Worked with State and Federal agencies to insure that timely information is communicated to the aviation community

Coupled research and monitoring efforts to improve our capabilities

Worked with our Russian counterparts to insure that information about volcanic activity in Russia is broadly distributed

Main efforts of AVO the last 15 years Expanded seismic monitoring to unmonitored volcanoes Established a remote sensing group as an integral part of the observatory Undertook a program of geologic studies to determine the eruptive history and potential of Alaskan volcanoes Worked with other govt. agencies to insure that timely information is communicated to the aviation community Coupled research and monitoring efforts to improve our capabilities Worked with our Russian counterparts to insure that information about volcanic activity in Russia is broadly distributed
