Hi Bruce, there's been a little bit of geothermal exploration around volcanoes (Spurr primarily), but the cost and complexity of operating and exploring out in the Aleutians is a pretty significant barrier to companies right now. Thanks, -Seth -------- Bruce French wrote: Upon examining the Observatory's GIS map of active volcanoes, the 57 volcanoes in the Aleutian Islands was noted as an impressive concentration of power.

My recommendation to the Government of Alaska is to devote it's full, undivided attention to developing this enormous energy reserve to produce hydrogen and methanol as global commodities, which are in ever-increasing, high demand. -- Seth Snedigar Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys seth.snedigar(a)alaska.gov 907-451-5033 http://www.avo.alaska.edu/

Hi Brian -- that image is from a slide collection. We'll see if we can find the slide, and re-scan it at a higher resolution.

Hi Michael, I've fixed the webicorder images, so they should be displaying again (for volcanoes where the network actually is working). We have people out in the aleutians right now working on some networks, so hopefully we'll be able to get few back online. As far as Wrangell goes, there's no plans this summer to get it working again, hopefully in the next couple of years or so. Thanks, -Seth -------- Michael Fleming wrote: I have noticed most of the webicorders on this site no longer work. Does AVO have plans to get them working again, or is it a funding problem? I noticed you dropped Wrangell completely, do you have any plans to reactivate the seismograph at that volcano? -- Seth Snedigar Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys seth.snedigar(a)alaska.gov 907-451-5033 http://www.avo.alaska.edu/

Re: Two quick questions from the Redoubt report
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 14 Jun '12

Hello Josh - I'll take a stab at your questions. 1). AVO was formed in 1988. Prior to AVO's formation, there were two seismic stations at Redoubt. When AVO was formed, instrumenting Redoubt was a high priority because of its eruptive frequency and proximity to Anchorage. So three more stations were added in October, 1989. 2). The webicorder plots actually come from VALVE - and likely we could give users more than just a .jpg, but it would be incredibly taxing to our servers and limited bandwidth. All of our seismic data is publicly available in near-real-time at IRIS, however - so you could download it from there and use your own tools for visualization and analysis. 3). Sadly, no, the public lectures aren't able to be streamed online. Judy Fierstein's April talk on Novarupta 1912 is available here, however: https://www.avo.alaska.edu/Katmai2012/videos.php Thanks for your interest! -Cheryl -------- Josh Ridderhoff wrote: 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)!

Thanks for the well-wishes! Today is a particularly windy day out in the Aleutians - a lot of wind noise on the stations out there. -Cheryl -------- GinnieÃÂ´Gidlund wrote: Congraulations to beeing able to start testing the wibicirders.
