Re: Volcanic Watch - Snowy Mountain, Katmai
Hello Brian - Yes, those volcanoes are monitored by AVO, and we would expect tectonic-related earthquakes, being as they're near the subduction zone. -Cheryl -------- Brian Babbini wrote: 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. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
