23-26. Developing empirical constraints on the petrologic behavior of volcanic volatiles at high-threat Alaskan volcanoes
The work will document the pre-eruptive magmatic volatile contents of historically active Cook Inlet volcanoes including Mount Spurr, Redoubt Volcano, Iliamna Volcano, and Augustine Volcano. The results will be compared to a multi-decade program of volcanic emission and eruption data from these high-threat and frequently active volcanoes.
