Mount St. Helens Revisited: Lives Changed, Lessons Learned, and Legacies of the 1980 Eruptions

By Carolyn Driedger, USGS Hydrologist & Outreach Specialist 

• Mount St. Helens' eruptions had a disproportionately large influence on our understanding of volcanoes, hazards, and eruption response. 
• Unique circumstances, both locally and abroad, molded the responses to Mount St. Helens' awakening.
• The eruptions provoked change not only within volcanology, but within allied professions. 
• A direct line exists between lessons learned at Mount St. Helens and current volcanic eruption planning efforts by the USGS.
