USGS Volcanoes: Glacier Peak and Mt. Baker

November 5, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for the second Our Earth, Our Home autumn session! You can register here for this virtual seminar. You will also be able to register for our first autumn session—The Invisible Disaster: How an unprecedented harmful algal bloom disrupted the U.S. West Coast.

You will need a Zoom account to access this presentation. New to Zoom? You can sign up for free here.

Summary: Volcanoes are like snow flakes—no two are alike but they have many similarities. The Cascade Range hosts more than 4,000 volcanic vents with a wide variety of eruptive styles, but commonalities help scientists monitor volcanoes and prepare populations for future eruptions.

Observatory research geologist Cynthia Gardner will share details about these geologic wonders (including nearby Glacier Peak and Mt. Baker), their history of eruptions, and how we may (or may not) be affected by future eruptions.
