The department releases the results of its geologic studies in several formats including: CD-ROM disks, computer files, and publications such as maps, books, open file reports, special papers, and brochures. All of this is made available to the public at the Nature of the Northwest Information Center at the state office building in Portland, Oregon
The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN) is an organization that provides research and information on the health hazards and impacts of volcanic eruptions. . IVHHN work covers a range of research areas including volcanology, toxicology, public health and exposure science, with the goal of determining the health impacts of volcanic emissions and how to protect exposed communit
Volcanic activity continued on December 9, with explosive eruptions generating a shockwave, and a plume visible as far away as the islands of Panay, Guimaras and Cebu. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported that 57,563 people were affected by the June 2024 eruption, with 3,905 displaced from their homes ...
The Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP) was founded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the United States Agency for International Development's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance after the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia) in 1985. [1] The volcanic eruption melted a glacier triggering a lahar that killed 25,000 people. It was ...
Mackenzie, Muschalik & Broesche (2021) provided comments on the 2018 report in three separately authored sections. [4] Broesche believes that Yellowstone should be ranked higher due to the size of the volcano and the popularity of Yellowstone National Park, and Muschalik considers Mount Rainier to be just as dangerous as Kilauea due to its proximity to large population centers in Washington.
A volcanic hazard is the probability a volcanic eruption or related geophysical event will occur in a given geographic area and within a specified window of time. The risk that can be associated with a volcanic hazard depends on the proximity and vulnerability of an asset or a population of people near to where a volcanic event might occur.
Prediction of volcanic activity, and volcanic eruption forecasting, is an interdisciplinary monitoring and research effort to predict the time and severity of a volcano's eruption. Of particular importance is the prediction of hazardous eruptions that could lead to catastrophic loss of life, property, and disruption of human activities.
