[Public Email] Volcanic Watch - Snowy Mountain, Katmai

--------------------------------------------------------------- The following message was sent to you via AVO Web Email System: --------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Brian Babbini Email Address: bbabbini(a)yahoo.com Subject: Volcanic Watch - Snowy Mountain, Katmai Message: Aloha AVO: I am putting out a volcanic watch in the area between Snowy Mountain and Katmai. In addition to this watch, there is the possibility in the near term future of large subductional earthquakes in this area. Just ask HVO, or Cenapred, how crazy they think that I am. Most probably, they will tell you to ignore this warning. However, I am emphatically stating here, that this is a watch over several months to two years. You are in a "watch list" here. It is not a "code red", like I have put out from Colima to SSE of Salina Cruz, Mexico; nor the same I have put out for Conception to Santiago, Chile for similar large subductional earthquakes. AVO has time to begin monitoring this area..... Mahalo for your consideration of this information. Respectfully, Brian Babbini PS - I know how remote Snowy Mountain and Katmai seem to be near an eruption, or the possibility of a large subductional quake in this area in the aforementioned time frame.....I like my odds. ---------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE IP ADDRESS: 127.0.0.1 USER AGENT/BROWSER: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0) REFERRING PAGE: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/contact.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message at http://www.avo.alaska.edu/admin/avo_email.php?id=9861

Hello Julie - Well, defining "inactive" is a tricky question. It's probably better to use the term "dormant" or "extinct." Having said that, I am not aware of any compilation of dormant or extinct volcanoes in Alaska - there are very old (millions of years) volcanoes and vents in Alaska still recognizable, and even more that are no longer easily recognizable as such. Our website catalogs Alaskan volcanoes up to 2 million years old - which we hope is longer than the repose period of these volcanoes. Fourpeaked, which had a phreatic eruption in 2006, had not had an eruption within the last 10,000 years or so. Thank you for your interest, and apologies for being less help. If your daughter has a different volcano question, I'd be happy to try to answer. -Cheryl -------- Julie Ansell wrote: I am hoping that you can tell me how many inactive volcanoes there are in Alaska? This is for a report my daughter is writing. Thanks so much. We're having trouble finding the information. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050

Re: Intership/volunteer opportunities

Hi Elisa, AVO doesn't have a volunteer/internship program. Here's a list of options available to people who are interested in volunteering/interning with a volcano observatory: If you are seeking volcano experience anywhere - HVO has The premiere experience! HVO Volunteer webpage http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volunteer/ If you're after AVO or Alaska specific experience... AVO is a partnership between three public organizations. Opportunities working (including volunteering) with AVO would be specifically advertised under these three organizations. Opportunities with the USGS usually require U.S. citizenship. Employment with the State of Alaska often requires Alaska residency, and student opportunities with the University of Alaska Fairbanks typically require enrollment at UAF as a full-time student. If there are employment positions with AVO, you'd find them on the appropriate partner's HR webpage. A little awkward to continually check three sites, but it does work (see farther down this email.) If you're looking to flat-out volunteer with AVO in Alaska, requiring you to provide your own housing, food and transportation, you may consider emailing a resume to AVO staff whose interests resemble your own (keep in mind we're in Anchorage and Fairbanks). You can use the staff list on the AVO website or just start Googling "AVO" and some limited text describing your interest. Some AVO-affiliated student programs that are open to non-UAF students and are highly recommended are PIRE (Partnership in Volcanological Research and Education) and the UAF International Field Camp (with Alaskan and Russian courses): US-Russia-Japan Partnership (see the links at the top of the website) http://www.uaf.edu/geology/Research/research/volcanology.html PIRE http://www.gps.alaska.edu/PIRE/PIRE.html UAF G&G International Field Camp http://www.uaf.edu/geology/InternVolcanologySchool/2000index.htm Here's the list of AVO's member agencies, and their websites: Feds (AVO-S in Anchorage) 1. The USGS General USGS Employment http://www.usgs.gov/ohr/ USGS Alaska Science Center in Anchorage, AK (jobs are advertised in bottom of left-side navigation) http://alaska.usgs.gov/ USGS Volunteer http://www.usgs.gov/volunteer/ State of Alaska (AVO-N in Fairbanks) 2. Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys http://www.dggs.alaska.gov Workplace Alaska http://notes4.state.ak.us/wa/mainentry.nsf/WebData/1hp1HomePage/?Open AK Department of Natural Resources (includes DGGS) Job, Intern. and Volunteer Opportunities: http://dnr.alaska.gov/commis/pic/jobs.htm 3. (AVO-N in Fairbanks) The University of Alaska Jobs (AVO assoc. portion is the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute - UAFGI)) https://www.uakjobs.com/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=11… UAF Geol. and Geophys. and the UAFGI also host internships during the summer and school year. You may contact the geology and geophysics department or the UAF Geophysical Institute (UAFGI) for info. UAFGI http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ UAF Geol. and Geophys. http://www.uaf.edu/geology/ Also, the recently developed "Volcanonet" group on Facebook has a section where members can post/look for opportunities. Its been quite a successful site, acquiring over 400 members and dozen of opportunities posted in about a week. Hope that's helpful. Thanks! -Seth -------- Elisa Baumgardt wrote: I was wondering if the observatory has any internship programs for geology students interested in volcanology, or if there are volunteer positions that would fill the same desire.
