Consequently, the investigations in this volume are intended to provide both a means to better forecast future eruptive episodes and also an opportunity to formulate and test future hypotheses for magmatic and eruptive processes. Augustine Volcano, the most historically active volcano in Alaskas Cook Inlet region, again showed signs of life in April 2005. Heat Augustine Volcano erupted explosively after 20 years of quiescence on January 11, 2006, followed by approximately 2 months of dome building and lava extrusion. In such events, the comprehensive study of past eruptions will provide data critical to assessing the current state of the magmatic system. In such events, the comprehensive study of past eruptions will provide data critical to assessing the current state of the magmatic system. In assembling this volume we have sought as consistent and accurate a portrayal of the 2006 eruption as possible. A .gov website belongs to an official government organization in the United States. : Chapter We have asked all authors to refer to the same basic eruption chronology, unless their observations and data require alternative explanations. In addition, remote sensing techniques, such as airborne thermal imaging and the advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER), provided novel and often critical information as the 2006 eruption progressed. Augustine Volcano Eruption Oct. 6, 1883. The Augustine Volcano in Alaska continued erupting on February 2, 2006. Naturally, not all techniques or methodologies produce a completely consistent set of observations, nor do the precise conclusions in every paper support one another. Adleman, J.N. Mauna Loa from 1852 to 1868 part 1. FOIA Particular attention was directed toward the concentrations and geochemical Augustine Volcano, in the Cook Inlet of the Gulf of Alaska, erupted on January 13 and 14, 2006. The volcanos ash plume is pale gray-beige, barely darker than the nearby clouds.

LockA locked padlock This report is available only on the Web at this time. Future eruptions may follow a course similar to those observed in 1976, 1986, and 2006. Recognition of Augustines frequent activity and hazardous nature led to the installation of a network of telemetered seismometers beginning in 1971, the establishment of a geodetic network in 1988, and the installation of other new instrumentation such as pressure sensors, broadband seismometers, and cameras by the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), and the selection of Augustine for geodetic instrumentation through the EarthScope/Plate Boundary Observatory program in 2004. Punctuated explosive activity gave way to effusion of lava and emplacement of thick block-and-ash flows on the volcanos north flank that continued through mid-February. Its oldest dated volcanic rocks are more than 40,000 years old. The volcano erupted again in 1986, producing an avalanche of ash, rock fragments, and gas.
