Hello Patrick, I'm cc'ing Kristi Wallace on this email, who knows more about the Pavlof ash event than I do. As far as I know, we do not expect a visible ash layer in the Alaska Range from the Pavlof eruption - our current furthest ashfall reports come from Togiak. AVO scientists attempted to collect potential Pavlof 2016 ashfall in interior Alaska - ashfall definitely did not occur over Fairbanks. We have a proximal sample of Pavlof 2016 ash from Nelson Lagoon and are currently conducting composition and size analyses of that sample. We have not yet been able to conduct fieldwork at Pavlof, post-eruption, due to continuous poor weather. If you're asking about ash characterizations of other (older) ash layers that might be present in the Alaska Range, Kristi is certainly the right person to ask. Thank you, Cheryl Cameron -------- Patrick Saylor wrote: Hello AVO, My name is Patrick Saylor, I am student at Dartmouth College participating in a field season in Denali National Park this coming June.

I am curious about the Pavlof eruption, and whether or not it will affect our field logistics and science plans. Questions: 1] Do you expect a visible ash layer over the Denali Massif/Alaska range due to the Pavlof eruption? 2] Are there estimates or ground reports from the range that could provide me with additional information or characterize the ash-fall events in this area in any way?

Hello Allen - It's difficult to know I'm answering your question as I'm not sure which webicorders you're looking at, but it looks like there was a regional earthquake in the Aleutians (not volcanic) that showed up on some of our seismic records. Thanks, Cheryl -------- allen joseph wrote: I notice that on Thurs, April 28, quite a few webicorders all have a wiggly line at the same time around 12:11-12:15 pm.

Hello Alexander - AVO does not have a formal internship program. HVO does have a formal volunteer program: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volunteer/ I don't know whether or not they require US citizenship/green card. We also highly recommend the International Volcanology Field School https://www.uaf.edu/geology/academics/international-volcanology/ Best wishes, Cheryl Cameron -------- Alexander Hollige wrote: Dear Mr. and Mrs., at the moment I study geology/mineralogy in Freiberg, Germany and we have to do an 4 weeks internship.

Hello Virginia - Do you mean this webcam? https://www.avo.alaska.edu/webcam/Redoubt_-_CI.php The lights are oil rigs in Cook Inlet. The Redoubt CI webcam is mounted on an oil platform itself. Ships also traverse Cook Inlet - with lights on, if its dark.

Hello Jen - I've distributed your message to the female geoscientists of AVO in Anchorage (those of us in Fairbanks are pretty far away!), but haven't heard that any could attend this date and location. Thank you, Cheryl Cameron -------- Jen Pudge wrote: Hello, Calling all Women who work in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering or Math: Girl Scouts of Alaska is excited to once again be offering Women of Science & Technology Day to girls across Alaska. Women of Science gives school-aged girls a chance to discover the fun of science and connect with women who work in STEM fields, through hands-on workshops led by women working in these fields. This event, sponsored by BP and the University of Alaska, has been held for 24 years, and we’re proud to say the program is growing and has become Girl Scouts of Alaska’s signature event! We can’t do it without you! Do you:  Like science, technology, engineering and/or math?  Enjoy interacting with kids?  Want a chance to encourage girls in STEM fields? Then we have a job for you! This is a one day (or half-day) commitment. We have workshop ideas for those who need them. Bring a friend, and come have fun with science! The key to making this event a success is active, hands-on participation for the girls. We want workshops that give every girl a chance to participate, and to experience something new. We want girls to get their hands dirty, meet women that are passionate about STEM fields, and be exposed to new ideas. Here’s how it works: Girls in grades K-3 participate in morning workshops, and girls in grades 4-12 participate in the afternoon. We provide lunch for all presenters. In Soldotna, we expect approximately 100 girls to attend (workshop sizes of 10 - 15) and this means we’ll need up to 8-10 presenters (or presenting teams) for each session. By signing up to be a presenter, you’ll be one of dozens of women helping out that day to encourage girls in the sciences across the state! Women of Science & Technology Day encompasses many fields, including engineering, architecture, aviation, oil exploration, construction, photography, ecology, archaeology, computer science, medical fields including physical therapy, and more. Not sure if your idea is “sciency enough?” Need activity ideas? Give us a call! Locations and Dates: ► Soldotna, Saturday April 30th, 2016 at the Kenai Peninsula College Use the attached form to sign up now. Interested in learning more? Give us a call!
