Re: volcano activity and moon position

Hello Barry - Here is one article that discuss what you're interested in: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Outreach/AboutVolcanoes/do_tides_affect_volcanoes… Some volcanoes (like Pavlof) seem more affected than others. But in all volcanoes, the effect appears very small. Thanks, Cheryl -------- Barry Willis wrote: Sirs, I live in Hawaii--home of Kilauea. I have a theory that the moon's position affects the activity of the active lava. So, the closer the moon, the more influence on the lava and therefore the eruption potential. I can't find any study or discussion on this. So what I expect is that IF an eruption were to happen, it would be when the moon is closest to the earth (high tide, of course). Can you direct me to a source of information for this topic or answer it?

Re: Mt Redoubt viewing/visit

Hello Padee - I think your view of Redoubt will be more weather-dependent than location-dependent on the Kenai. Helicopters and fixed-wing each come with their own sets of advantages and disadvantages. Probably the best thing for you to do would be to chat with the air-taxi services on the Kenai - they are used to doing "volcano air tours" for people. Lake Clark National Park has a page here: http://www.nps.gov/lacl/planyourvisit/directions.htm Thanks, Cheryl -------- Padee McCrery wrote: Hello again wonderful folks. I am making a trip to Alaska again this Sept. I am looking for ideas on how to best view/visit Redoubt...

[Public Email] Two quick questions from the Redoubt report
by ridderho＠comcast.net 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

--------------------------------------------------------------- The following message was sent to you via AVO Web Email System: --------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Josh Ridderhoff Email Address: ridderho(a)comcast.net Subject: Two quick questions from the Redoubt report Message: Hello, I just finished reading through the report on the 2009 Redoubt eruption, and a couple of questions came up for me that I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on. Nothing earth-shattering, just curiosities mainly: 1) It was mentioned that seismic monitoring equipment had been installed at Redoubt just a few months prior to the '89 eruption, but also that there wasn't any notable seismic activity until about 24 hours prior to the eruption. Was it just an incredible coincidence that the monitoring stations happened to get installed when they did, or had there been other clues going on that indicated there might be an imminent need for seismic monitoring? 2) Reading about SWARM, it sounds fairly plausible that it's this software that generates the webicorder images. Is that the case? If so, I noticed that SWARM allows for the user to zoom, filter, etc. on individual waveforms to get more detail, and I was curious to see if anybody has ever looked at expanding some similar functionality to the webicorder displays to give web users the ability to get better resolution for events of interest? Thanks for the time! P.S. -- I'm assuming not, but do you know if any of the public lectures this summer are streamed/recorded and available online? It's a tad cost-prohibitive to jet up to Anchorage from Utah for a day, but I sure wish I could be there to see a few of them (this week's especially sounds amazing)!
