Hello Connor - I've cc'd Yvette Gillies and Tina Neal, and hopefully they can help you or find someone who can help you. Given the recent activity, it's difficult to know how busy things might be on Friday! Emailing the website is a reliable contact for AVO, but it contacts the part of AVO that is in Fairbanks. :) Thank you, Cheryl Cameron -------- Connor Keesecker wrote: Hello, I am Connor Keesecker, a reporter with the student-run radio station located on the UAA campus. I am unsure if this is a reliable contact for this organization but I am inquiring to see if there was anyone available to do an interview. The interview would be regarding recent volcanic eruptions in Alaska with the primary focus being on how federal budget cuts have impacted the Alaska Volcano Observatory. I was hoping to arrange a live interview with a expert in this field on Friday May 17 at 4:30 pm for our program the News Feed. If this time is inconvenient then we could try to do a recorded interview sometime tomorrow or Thursday.

Hello Stephen - In this time of sharply declining funding, I am not aware of any position openings at AVO. But if there were any, they would be posted on the HR website one of the partner agencies of AVO: --State of Alaska --University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute --USGS Best wishes, Cheryl -------- Stephen Pansino wrote: Hi, I am a recent graduate of the University at Buffalo (SUNY) with a master of science in volcanology.

Re: Volcanic Eruption Data

Hello James - I can query the db to pull some of this information out for you, but we don't store all of it. I'll send a separate email with tables. (This email reply system doesn't permit attachments.) Additionally, there are important caveats. --many events are suspected --time periods where there is less than 90 days between eruptive activity at a volcano get lumped into one eruption. For example, the dozens of small explosions and several domes at Cleveland from mid-2011 through Jan 2013 are ONE eruption. There is one eruption at Trident from mid-1950s until mid-1970s. --I store only the max VEI --I used to store region, but they were just for handy display on maps. Now that we can do dynamic maps, I don't track regions anymore. I've learned everyone would prefer to draw his/her own boundaries, based on whatever criteria are most important to him/her. --volumes: For the volcanoes that have this, it's in a giant text field about the eruption, not in a field I can easily pull out. There aren't many. (couple dozen, max. I can give you the text fields - typos and all - and you can find them. Usually at the very end of the field.) --I have no idea what you might mean by "intensity". We use VEI (as assigned by the Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program) Please credit AVO as the source of this information. -cheryl -------- James Pearson wrote: I am a graduate student at Eastern Washington University.

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!

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.
