Horizontal displacement vectors at Mount St. Helens (2008-2014)
Map of horizontal displacement vectors for Global Positioning System (GPS) stations in and around Mount St. Helens. Blue arrows show the direction and magnitude of horizontal movement, as measured at the GPS station from 2008-2014. The total horizontal displacement is indicated in millimeters (mm) and inches (in).

Tracking the advance of Crater Glacier at Mount St. Helens, WA
Information regarding volume and rates of advance for the crevassed Crater Glacier at Mount St. Helens, Washington, are extracted from Digital Elevation Models created from aerial photography. The red line shows the extent of Crater Glacier in 2012. Since 2012, the glacier has advanced about 50 m (160 ft) down the Loowit channel.

Summer geology intern Mindy Juergenson climbs over downed lodgepole pine trees killed in the fire of 1988 as she packs a GPS station out of the field (inset). Nine temporary stations are deployed each April/May and retrieved in October/November. The temporary stations supplement a network of permanent stations that record ground deformation data year-round.

Tiltmeters allowed 24-hour monitoring as the information was telemetered back to CVO. Other instruments such as displacement meters for measuring cracks, seismometers for measuring earthquakes, gas sensors for measuring gas concentrations, and magnetometers for measuring the magnetic field, were also used for 24-hour monitoring.

CGPS-SPGPS Comparison
Top panel shows a continuous GPS station located in Yellowstone National Park. The antenna is secured to the ground by several metal poles, and a nearby set of solar panels provides power to the station. Lower panel shows a semipermanent GPS station, with a small solar array for power and an antenna located close to the ground.

A bathymetric contour map of Castle Lake, Mount St. Helens.
Researchers map the bottom of Castle Lake, near Mount St. Helens. For three days, researchers ran a small boat over the lake surface equipped with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The ADCP bounces an acoustic wave off the bottom that is reflected back to a mobile receiver in the boat.

Stratified 275-m (900-ft) thick mid-Holocene pyroclastic flow and l...
Visible relief in the hillside exposure is about 800-900 ft. Dusty assemblage deposit occurred approximately between 5100 and 5500 yr B.P. Magma volume of >5 km3, which is a lot for what was probably one eruptive stage. The source lava dome is gone, apparently having disintegrated entirely during extrusion and subsequent glacial interaction.

The orange layer just below geologist's hiking pole is the Mazama ash (about 7700 ybp). Below that are glacial deposits. Above the Mazama is about a meter consisting mostly of fine-grained tephras from Glacier Peak, capped by soil and plants. That the tephras sit directly on top of the Mazama indicates that "Dusty" eruptions commenced about 7,000 years ago.

Ice-chilled lava columns at the end of a Glacier Peak lava flow, WA.
Impressive columns like these form along the margins of ice-confined lava flows but usually are eroded off the sides due to continued glacial movement after an eruption ceases. Columns are better preserved at the ends of the flows (this photo) where they are protected somewhat from the ice.
