Rebecca L. Kramer

I am a field instrumentation specialist working to support monitoring of volcanoes in the Cascade range.

I coordinate network topology, station design, and field operations for the Next Generation Rainier Lahar Detection System, working with partners including Pierce County and Mount Rainier National Park. I also provide network and field support for monitoring stations on Cascade volcanoes throughout Washington and Oregon. Additionally, I am a geodesy enthusiast and am often working to maintain and improve CVO's GNSS station infrastructure and data management.

Combining InSAR and GPS to determine transient movement and thickness of a seasonally active low-gradient translational landslide

The combined application of continuous Global Positioning System data (high temporal resolution) with spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar data (high spatial resolution) can reveal much more about the complexity of large landslide movement than is possible with geodetic measurements tied to only a few specific measurement sites. This approach is applied to an ~4 km2 reactivated tran

Volcano geodesy in the Cascade arc, USA

Experience during historical time throughout the Cascade arc and the lack of deep-seated deformation prior to the two most recent eruptions of Mount St. Helens might lead one to infer that Cascade volcanoes are generally quiescent and, specifically, show no signs of geodetic change until they are about to erupt. Several decades of geodetic data, however, tell a different story. Ground- and space-b
