Hello Scott - Yes, we noticed that also. It looks most like a rockfall to our seismologists. Thanks, Cheryl -------- Scott wrote: Hi, Some kind of LP just happened at Redout.

Hello Scott - We temporarily lost our Homer telecommunications. Data is fine now - and stations are no worse than they were. Thanks, Cheryl -------- Scott wrote: Hi, just in case no one has seen it yet, it appears all of Iliamna's stations are toast. If you are aware please disregard, but thought I'd report it- seeing as I am often monitoring real time. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050

Hello John - Thank you for trying to send us a photo of Shishaldin - and we would like to see it. However, the State of Alaska has blocked our internet access to your photo-sharing website ("bandwidth conservation") and we can't see it. If you would attach it in a reply to this email, we would appreciate it! Also please let us know if we can post it to our public website or if you'd like it to remain internal to AVO. Many thanks! -Cheryl -------- John Yatteau wrote: Photo by Robert Yatteau (USCG), December 31, 2012. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/294047_709626485714_427464239_n.… -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050

Re: Effect of walking on wet ash
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 04 Jan '13

Hello Jon - Well, Chris Waythomas certainly has very recent experience walking in wet ash, so I am inclined to believe his observations. There are no recent, easy-to-access ash beds in Alaska that I know about. (Kasatochi is pretty far out there!) But you could read the account of Griggs (National Geographics, 1913-1922, Martin, 1912, and a book by Griggs in 1922) of his multi-year experiences traversing a party through the 1912 Novarupta ash. Best wishes, Cheryl Cameron -------- Jon Boyd wrote: To Whom it may concern, I a adjunct faculty with the archaeology dept. a Pima Community College in Tucson AZ, and have been doing research on the 3.6 mya tracks left in tuff at Laetoli, Tanzania. I have been in contact with Chris Waythomas about how walking walking in wet ash might affect how humans walk in a group (his observation from Kasatochi in 2008 was no). Specifically, would it force them to walk in each other's footsteps for ease of travel, similar to what happens with deep snow? I am looking to determine whether wet ash might have been an environmental factor in how the Laetoli tracks were formed (now made by at least three individuals walking in direct register) or if some other behavior such as long distance foraging could be the cause. If you or any of your colleagues have more observations along those lines, it would be great to hear them. Also, is there an existing ash bed somewhere in AK (hopefully not TOO remote) that might be used for current observation of group movement?

Hi Rebekah - I don't think we have an Alaska Volcano Awareness Month! Sounds like a great idea, though. (write the Governor?)

Re: Climate changing volcanoes
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 04 Jan '13

Hello Calvin - The effect volcanic eruptions have on global or regional climate is a subject of ongoing study. The 1912 eruption of Novarupta (in Alaska), the largest eruption of the 20th century, likely produced a cooler summer in the northern hemisphere. Some Alaskan eruptions do have high rates of SO2 - for example, some analyses suggest that Kasatochi (2008) was the highest since Cerro Hudson (1991). It's important to remember that the SO2 from volcanoes is dwarfed by anthropogenic emissions, however. (http://www.avo.alaska.edu/pdfs/cit5862.pdf ) Hope this is helpful, Cheryl -------- Calvin Kaskey wrote: I have read that only volcanoes near the equator can change global climate. With that said I have also heard that Katla in Iceland has. Can Alaskan volcanoes effect global climate and how much sulfur dioxide do they have compared to other climate change volcanoes like Pinatubo, Krakatoa, etc. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
