Hello Natalie - Occasionally there are volunteer in-office positions available in Anchorage, requiring the volunteer to provide her own lodging, transportation, food - everything. If this is a possibility for you, please contact Kristi Wallace. (see the staff listing page on the AVO website). Other opportunities that may appeal to you: HVO has a well-developed volunteer program, and UAF's International Volcanology Field Camp: http://www.uaf.edu/geology/InternVolcanologySchool/2000index.htm Best wishes on your studies, Cheryl -------- Natalie Tyler wrote: Hello! I was wondering if AVO offers any volunteer opportunities for undergrad Geology students, where they can gain valuable knowledge and experience.

Re: Katmai Samples GPS coordinates?
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 30 Apr '13

Hello Kelsey - I see that the public sample interface doesn't give lat/long! We'll work on that, so there are some samples that do have lat/long that we can give you. I would caution that lat/longs of previous samples in the Katmai area are usually not GPS points, though. For quite a few references, I digitize based off of dots on page-sized figures. Which is better than no location at all, but not terribly accurate. However, concerning Wes Hildreth and Judy Fierstein samples, I do not have lat/long for those. Only Wes and Judy have that information. We are also working on an improved public interface for searching sample metadata and analyses. Thanks for your patience, Cheryl -------- Kelsey Williams wrote: I am currently trying to find exact locations for some of the samples analyzed from the Katmai area. I see that the AVO website maps the samples - giving sample name/station and compositional data - but I am struggling to find any reference to the exact location. I'm assuming since they are plotted on a map in the website (ex: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/data.php?volcname=Trident) that GPS or Long/Lat data exists SOMEWHERE. Is it possible to obtain this data? I see the Long/Lat listing of the volcanoes, but not of the samples. Additionally, the references that analyzed the samples (mainly Hildreth) only mention the general location where each comes from, not including GPS location. I would greatly appreciate this information and/or instructions as to how to obtain it.

Hello Leif - Apologies - in my last email, I sent the link to bringing Wrangell to UNASSIGNED, and that link says we had plans to repair the network last summer. We've had funding cuts for awhile - last year's cuts meant Wrangell's network didn't get fixed.

Hello Mark - Thank you very much for your kind words of support! We do appreciate it.

Re: Little Sitkin
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hello Roger - Due to sustained, multi-year reductions in funding, we can't get out there to repair the Little Sitkin seismic network. So Little Sitkin is now without ground instrumentation and is monitored only by satellite imagery. (other networks that are no longer operational include Ukinrek Maars and Ugashik-Peulik.) It is our hope to concentrate the funding we have on Cook Inlet volcanoes and those Aleutian volcanoes nearest population centers. Hope this is somewhat helpful, even if it is sad news, Cheryl -------- Roger Haas wrote: What happen to the graphs -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
