Digital elevation model of Mount St. Helens, Washington and vicinity prior to the 1980 eruption Digital elevation model of Mount St. Helens, Washington and vicinity prior to the 1980 eruption
On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, Washington, exploded in a spectacular and devastating eruption that resulted in previously unimaginable events that drastically altered the mountain and the surrounding area. One unprecedented event was the collapse of the summit and north flank of the volcano forming a huge landslide known as the ‘debris avalanche’ with a total volume of about 2.5 km3...
Digital elevation model of the lava dome in the crater of Mount St. Helens, November 12, 1986 Digital elevation model of the lava dome in the crater of Mount St. Helens, November 12, 1986
The catastrophic, explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, on May 18, 1980, is the most well-known eruption of the volcano. Less well known is the May 18th eruption marked the beginning of a period of eruptive activity that lasted through 1986. From October 1980 through October 1986, a series of 17 dome-building episodes added millions of cubic meters of lava to the crater...
Database for the Geologic Map and Structure Sections of the Clear Lake Volcanics, Northern California Database for the Geologic Map and Structure Sections of the Clear Lake Volcanics, Northern California
This geologic map database is a reproduction of U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations Map I–2362: “Geologic Map and Structure Sections of the Clear Lake Volcanics, Northern California” (Hearn, Donnelly-Nolan, and Goff, 1995). The database consists of a geologic map, three structural cross sections and a table of petrographic data for each map unit by mineral type, abundance...
Geospatial database of the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii Geospatial database of the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
The 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kilauea Volcano began in the late afternoon of 3 May, with fissure 1 opening and erupting lava onto Mohala Street in the Leilani Estates subdivision, part of the lower Puna District of the Island of Hawaii. For the first week of the eruption, relatively viscous lava flowed only within a kilometer (0.6 miles) of the fissures within Leilani Estates...
High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Mt Baker and vicinity, Washington, based on lidar surveys of 2015 High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Mt Baker and vicinity, Washington, based on lidar surveys of 2015
Snow and ice-covered Mount Baker in northern Washington, is the highest peak in the North Cascades (3,286 meters or 10,781 feet) and the northernmost volcano in the conterminous United States. It is the only U.S. volcano in the Cascade Range that has been affected by both alpine and continental glaciation. The stratovolcano is composed mainly of andesite lava flows and breccias formed...
High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Glacier Peak and vicinity, Washington, based on lidar surveys of August-November, 2014 and June, 2015 High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Glacier Peak and vicinity, Washington, based on lidar surveys of August-November, 2014 and June, 2015
Glacier Peak is a 3,214 m (10,544 ft.) stratovolcano composed mainly of dacite. The volcano is located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area, in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, about 100 km (65 mi) northeast of Seattle and 110 km (70 mi) south of the International Boundary with Canada. Since the continental ice sheets receded from the region approximately 15,000 years ago...
High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Newberry Volcano and vicinity, Oregon, based on lidar survey of August-September, 2010 and bathymetric survey of June, 2001 High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Newberry Volcano and vicinity, Oregon, based on lidar survey of August-September, 2010 and bathymetric survey of June, 2001
Newberry Volcano, one of the largest Quaternary volcanoes in the conterminous United States, is a broad shield-shaped volcano measuring 60 km north-south by 30 km east-west with a maximum elevation of more than 2 km above sea level. It is the product of deposits from thousands of eruptions, including at least 25 in (approximately) the last 12,000 years (the Holocene Epoch). Newberry...
