Hello Luisa - Please write the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory with questions on Yellowstone. Here is their website: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/index.html Thank you, Cheryl Cameron Alaska Volcano Observatory -------- Luisa Göde wrote: Hello my name is Luisa Göde and I am from Germany.

What would a eruption like this do in our world today? 3. Which seismographic moves are there right now? 4. The scientists don´t think that a volcanic eruption is now to await, but which factors can be change this situation quickly? 5. Recently have the park problems with the bison outside of the protected area. The farmers don´t want them because of their illness. Are there any changes in the conflict? 6. What do you think are the most interesting attractions for the tourists in the park?

Hi Lucinda - Thanks for the notice on KOFP's webicorder on the public page - it was an issue with the public website retrieving the image from the waveform server. We fixed it. As a side note, AVO seismologists haven't noticed any unusual activity at Korovin, although we're watching it carefully after the recent reports of steaming. Thank you, Cheryl Cameron -------- Lucinda Nevzoroff wrote: the webicorders for atka (korvin), kofp ehz az, has been on February 1 & 2nd. I don't kno if it's cause it's not active and conserving battery power or cause it broke down. have a great day! -lucinda -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050

Re: Mount Blackburn
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 18 Feb '16

Hello David - Mount Blackburn is the eroded remnant of a shield volcano that was active 3.5 - 4.5 million years ago. We do not expect another eruption from Mount Blackburn. The report in the newspaper from 1930 was almost certainly a report of fumarolic activity or a phreatic eruption from nearby Mt. Wrangell, which is still active. Recent geologic investigations (primarily mapping by the USGS) at Blackburn show no evidence of any historical or Quaternary eruptive activity. There is no monitoring of Blackburn, or any on-going effort to study it. The entirety of the newspaper article that deals with the "eruption" account is re-typed on our website, here: https://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Wrangell&eruptio… If you want the actual article, your local library or a site like newspaperarchive.com can probably get it for you. I have only photocopied the snippet that deals with the account, and not the rest of the "newsy" bits from Chitina. Associated Press, 1930, Mount Blackburn seen in eruption: Fairbanks Daily News Miner, March 26, 1930, p. 1. As far as temperatures at Blackburn - I couldn't say. You can look at weather data for Glennallen, a nearby community, but the mountain itself would have its own microclimate. Thank you, Cheryl Cameron -------- David Guastella wrote: I would like to read the article that was written on march 26th 1930 of the eruption of Mt. Blackburn. Can you help me get this information? what research methods and tools used there today? IS this volcano still active? if so when was its last eruption? Thank you for your help. Also what are temperatures in the winter and summer months? -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
