[Public Email] Volcanic Watch - Snowy Mountain, Katmai

--------------------------------------------------------------- The following message was sent to you via AVO Web Email System: --------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Brian Babbini Email Address: bbabbini(a)yahoo.com Subject: Volcanic Watch - Snowy Mountain, Katmai Message: Aloha AVO: I am putting out a volcanic watch in the area between Snowy Mountain and Katmai. In addition to this watch, there is the possibility in the near term future of large subductional earthquakes in this area. Just ask HVO, or Cenapred, how crazy they think that I am. Most probably, they will tell you to ignore this warning. However, I am emphatically stating here, that this is a watch over several months to two years. You are in a "watch list" here. It is not a "code red", like I have put out from Colima to SSE of Salina Cruz, Mexico; nor the same I have put out for Conception to Santiago, Chile for similar large subductional earthquakes. AVO has time to begin monitoring this area..... Mahalo for your consideration of this information. Respectfully, Brian Babbini PS - I know how remote Snowy Mountain and Katmai seem to be near an eruption, or the possibility of a large subductional quake in this area in the aforementioned time frame.....I like my odds. ---------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE IP ADDRESS: 127.0.0.1 USER AGENT/BROWSER: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0) REFERRING PAGE: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/contact.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message at http://www.avo.alaska.edu/admin/avo_email.php?id=9861

Hello Julie - Well, defining "inactive" is a tricky question. It's probably better to use the term "dormant" or "extinct." Having said that, I am not aware of any compilation of dormant or extinct volcanoes in Alaska - there are very old (millions of years) volcanoes and vents in Alaska still recognizable, and even more that are no longer easily recognizable as such. Our website catalogs Alaskan volcanoes up to 2 million years old - which we hope is longer than the repose period of these volcanoes. Fourpeaked, which had a phreatic eruption in 2006, had not had an eruption within the last 10,000 years or so. Thank you for your interest, and apologies for being less help. If your daughter has a different volcano question, I'd be happy to try to answer. -Cheryl -------- Julie Ansell wrote: I am hoping that you can tell me how many inactive volcanoes there are in Alaska? This is for a report my daughter is writing. Thanks so much. We're having trouble finding the information. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
