Publications of Volcano Hazards Program 2000
The Volcano Hazards Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is part of the Geologic Hazards Assessments subactivity as funded by Congressional appropriation. Investigations are carried out in the Geology and Hydrology Disciplines of the USGS and with cooperators at the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, University of Ut

A simple calculator of ballistic trajectories for blocks ejected during volcanic eruptions
During the past century, numerous observers have described the violent ejection of large blocks and bombs from volcanoes during volcanic explosions. Minakami (1942) mapped the locations of blocks ejected from Asama Volcano during explosions in 1937. He developed a mathematical expression relating initial velocity and trajectory angle of ejected blocks to the ejection distance, taking into account

Hydrologic data for Long Valley Caldera, Mono County, California, 1994-96
Hydrologic data were collected during 1994-96 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's long-term Volcanic Hazards Monitoring Program of the Long Valley Caldera, Mono County, California, and the Long Valley Hydrologic Advisory Committee monitoring program. Hydrologic data collected include continuous record of ground-water levels in 4 wells; instantaneous measurements of ground-water levels in 53 we

Volcanoes of the Wrangell Mountains and Cook Inlet region, Alaska: selected photographs
Alaska is home to more than 40 active volcanoes, many of which have erupted violently and repeatedly in the last 200 years. This CD-ROM contains 97 digitized color 35-mm images which represent a small fraction of thousands of photographs taken by Alaska Volcano Observatory scientists, other researchers, and private citizens. The photographs were selected to portray Alaska's volcanoes, to document

Lahar Hazards at Concepción volcano, Nicaragua
Concepción is one of Nicaragua’s highest and most active volcanoes. The symmetrical cone occupies the northeastern half of a dumbbell shaped island called Isla Ometepa. The dormant volcano, Maderas, occupies the southwest half of the island. A narrow isthmus connects Concepción and Maderas volcanoes. Concepción volcano towers more than 1600 m above Lake Nicaragua and is within 5 to 10 km of severa

Global Positioning System (GPS) survey of Augustine Volcano, Alaska, August 3-8, 2000: data processing, geodetic coordinates and comparison with prior geodetic surveys
Between August 3 and 8,2000,the Alaska Volcano Observatory completed a Global Positioning System (GPS) survey at Augustine Volcano, Alaska. Augustine is a frequently active calcalkaline volcano located in the lower portion of Cook Inlet (fig. 1), with reported eruptions in 1812, 1882, 1909?, 1935, 1964, 1976, and 1986 (Miller et al., 1998). Geodetic measurements using electronic and optical survey

Solar electric power for instruments at remote sites
Small photovoltaic (PV) systems are the preferred method to power instruments operating at permanent locations away from the electric power grid. The low-power PV power system consists of a solar panel or small array of panels, lead-acid batteries, and a charge controller.
Even though the small PV power system is simple, the job of supplying power at a remote site can be very demanding. The equip

Bibliography of literature from 1990-1997 pertaining to Holocene and fumarolic Pleistocene volcanoes of Alaska, Canada, and the conterminous United States
The 1980's and 1990's were marked by frequent worldwide destructive volcanic
eruptions. Significant loss of life and property during eruptions, and extensive media coverage of
volcanic events around the globe have brought volcanic processes and hazards increasingly to the
forefront of scientific, governmental, and public attention (e.g., Casadevall, 1994; Pringle, 1994).
A result of these circums
